The Chef's Canvas

The Chef's Canvas is an artfully designed coffee table book that blends the love of cooking with the love for art. Published by the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, this 288-page book pairs works of the Museum's Permanent Collection with some of the best chefs, bartenders and breweries in Northeast Florida. Through the eyes and mouths of these culinary experts, each Chef has created a recipe inspired by a work of art.
