Petra/New York, NY



In 2007, artist Petra Valentova published an unusual cookbook. The recipes were all collected from men she had met on an Internet dating site. The project, called "Searching for a Sámi," began with a desire to find a man from the northern Finnish region where Petra had once visited, but soon opened up to include a wide range of NYC guys. After collecting the recipes, Petra cooked the dishes with her friends and reflected on the experience in her book.

This photo comes from one of the entries, "Quick Sauerbraten." I'm not sure if the title refers to the prep time, or her date that night.
