Nurit Yarden offers a generous, intimate gift: "six gourmet meals from the recipe box inherited from my mother". But rather than going into the kitchen, tying an apron around her waist and continuing the glorious tradition, Yarden chose to put this recpies of female knowledge and good taste into an artist-book mold, spreading out on each page layers of texts, images and words. At the bottom of the "pot" she places a word - a title - whose function resembles that of the pea under the mattresses on which the princess slept.
Nurit Yarden was born in Israel, 1959. She grew up in Paris and Tel Aviv. A graduate of the Department of Photography, Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem, she is an instructor and teacher of photography. She has had numerous one-person shows, and participated in group exhibitionns in Israel, Europe and the United States. She lives and works in Tel Aviv.
