I vacationed in New Mexico recently and toured Georgia Okeeffe's home in Abiquiu. It made her artwork really come alive to me. Later, I found a cookbook containing all of her own recipes at a bookstore in Santa Fe. Read more This green been recipe was one of them. The book is "A Painter's Kitchen" by Margaret Wood. See less
