Lately, I find myself taking more time to immerse myself in emails, articles and magazines I might ordinarily glaze over in the haste of only addressing work-related correspondence. Overall, I find that I’m seeking more beauty and enrichment for my brain. Maybe I’m just needing some good old fashioned distractions.

Which brings me to Sponge Cake. Andy Warhol’s Sponge Cake, that is. And Suckling Pig. Produced in the 1950s, Wild Raspberries is one of the six self-published recipe books the artist issued. He illustrated the book with interior decorator and socialite Suzie Frankfort functioning as the writer. I love the whimsy pop-art illustrations and hilarious instructions that accompany each recipe page.

The pieces were part of a lot that sold this week with Sotheby’s in their Prints and Multiples Online Collection. See more, here.
