Looky Lou
Spurred on by my illustrations from The New England Cookbook scrubbles post, Ward Jenkins has unearthed more of artist Lou Peters’ wonderfully versatile work from vintage cookbooks. This appetizer artwork is as elegant as the New England stuff is whimsical. The fact that this guy was somewhat prolific, yet doing ephemeral cookbooks for desperate ’50s housewives, makes me admire him all the more. Unfortunately not much is known about Peters — but keep on sleuthing, Ward!
