Learn what not to do in the kitchen from this hilarious collection of real advice by real people. Sometimes the best way to learn is to make mistakes. That’s the premise of this book—a sort of anti-cookbook. Fed up with our prevailing food culture of patronizing celebrity chefs with their rigid and often impossible instructions, Aleksandra Mir started a website to invite real people to send in their kitchen disaster stories, so that the rest of us could benefit from their experience. The result was a viral Internet phenomenon. Home cooks from around the world streamed in with advice. One thousand of their tips were then collected in this humorous and ultimately heartening and cathartic book. The packaging is as funny as the content too; it tricks you into thinking you’ve come across a vintage workhorse cookbook that’s seen its share of abuse. Don’t look here for recipes to be followed slavishly. Instead, this is a book to dip in and out of, choosing from among the wide variety of little gems that are always idiosyncratic, often opinionated, and never boring. Many will spark debate. Some may not be so practical but are wickedly funny. But the best part of the book is its reassurance that it’s okay to be human, to make mistakes.

The How Not to Cookbook: Lessons Learned the Hard Way

Mir, Aleksandra

For the first major solo exhibition by the artist Sven Johne, the Frankfurter Kunstverein has brought several of his most significant series of works together into one survey. As well as experiencing new pieces that were created especially for the exhibition in Frankfurt, one also has the opportunity to explore the conceptual exactitude of his artistic approach. Moreover, it will be possible to thoroughly compare the ways in which he examines the content of documentation and the news.Sven Johne pursues a conceptual methodology in his documentary photography: like an investigative reporter he approaches social phenomena, he is doing research about the background of media reports and found footage, visits the places mentioned therein and embarks on a documentation thereof. In so doing, photos, texts, videos and archives are generated that are theoretically linked and engage in a process of questioning concerning their authenticity.Often it involves small announcements and peripheral notes from the local press, for example, suicides, ships lost at sea or killing sprees. Here, Johne sets out in search of clues. Seen as though under a magnifying glass, he allows individual destinies to become exemplary portraits of the social status quo. His cyclically created works therefore merge fiction with reality: it is not whether the announcements are true or not, but rather it is the explanations and their relationships to the world that counts. The elements of his works function either as apparent or real evidence of personal fates that are in turn expressions or manifestations of the current conditions of social, economic and political constellations.Sven Johne (born 1976, on Ruegen) lives and works in Berlin. His works are represented in numerous national and international collections. Among others, his oeuvre was shown at the Center for Photography in Barcelona, at the Kunstmuseum Bonn, Kalmar Konstmuseum and at the ZKM Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe.
