JUDY CHICAGO

Artist

For our Artist’s Palate series, feminist art icon Judy Chicago and her photographer husband Donald Woodman composed a theatrical take on a Niçoise salad (page 314). Chicago’s recipe features colour-coordinated carnations, seasonal ingredients and a specially created smoke sculpture. ‘We had no idea how much smoke we’d need,’ says Chicago. ‘The first time we tried, there was way too much; it completely covered everything and the fire department came.’
