Il libro delle torte di fango

Legendary composer and poet John Cage created this little book in the mid-fifties together with American textile designer Lois Long. We can just imagine them sitting there at the kitchen table one night, after desert. 

Mud Book. Il libro delle torte di fango is a unique and entertaining book for children and adults alike that shares all the tricks for making the very best prototype for every cake, the most basic type there is: the mud cake. With a dose of irony and effective and relevant graphics, John Cage and Lois Long summarise the essence of a creative process that involves complete practical freedom, inspiring readers to become imaginative (and messy) cooks.
