I’m an illustrator, art director, and author, Samantha Hahn. In each edition of this newsletter, a notable person in the food space shares a favorite recipe (illustrated by me) along with some treasured memories related to it. Blending editorial illustration, long-form interviews, and personal essays, Art Basil lives at the intersection of art, food, and culture. More than a collection of recipes, it is an illustrated archive of the stories we carry with us, and the meals that continue to nourish them.
