In Vitro Meat Cookbook

Editorial
We need to talk about the future of meat

Some scientists believe in vitro meat could become a sustainable
and animal friendly way to produce meat.
But before deciding if we are willing to eat meat from the lab,
we need to explore the food culture it brings us.

Using the format of the cookbook as a storytelling medium,
the In Vitro Meat Cookbook is a visually stunning exploration
of the new “food cultures” lab-grown meat might create.

This award-winning book presents 45 speculative recipes 
with lab-grown meat that could end up on your plate one day.

This cookbook features dozens of recipes that are delicious, uncanny, funny and inspiring.
Think of meat paint, revived dodo wings, meat ice cream, cannibal snacks, steaks knitted like scarves and see-through sushi grown under perfectly controlled conditions. 
Besides these extraordinarily detailed drawings created by Silvia Celiberti,
the book also contains a full color section with lush photography and renderings.
