“Art and Food” is an enchanting new cookbook by Marliese Heimann-Ammon (the spouse of the German Ambassador to the United States). She was recently profiled by the monthly newspaper The Washington Diplomatin an article titled LIFE of ADVENTURE – From Fashion to Art, Wife Spotlights ‘New Germany’:

Since coming to Washington in 2011, Heimann-Ammon has

showcased several artists at the German Residence while adding German and American paintings and sculptures to the sleek, modern residence on Foxhall Road to give it more warmth and softness. “I’m always on the lookout for new artists,” she told us.

It’s part of her desire to give Americans a multifaceted picture of her dynamic homeland.

We, from the Stoltenberg Institute for German American Forty-eighter Studies, a forum for German-American discourse, have begun to dream about a traveling exhibit based on this very special cookbook.

Please, go ahead, download the cookbook, enjoy, and try out some “Popular Recipes from the German Ambassador’s Residence.”
