...theme of The Trellis Cookbook by Marcel Desaulniers (Weidenfeld & Nicolson; $25). Unlike most recipes from restaurant chefs, these from the Trellis Restaurant in Colonial Williamsburg can be managed by mere mortals with only two hands. Some dishes have many steps (grilled smoked lamb with artichokes and slab bacon on fresh-thyme fettuccine), but Desaulniers outlines how to organize ahead. Corn and tomato fritters, roast loin of pork with walnut butter and a chocolate-praline ice cream terrine are winners...

Hockney was by no means the first English artist to make his homosexuality a theme of his art, but he was the first to do it in a garrulous, social way, treating his appetites as the most natural thing in the world and not, like Francis Bacon, as a pretext for reflection on Eros' power to maim and dominate. His code for the subject in the early '60s was graffiti. Flattened scrawly figures with sticks for limbs and blobs for heads, much influenced by Jean Dubuffet, populate a whole set of images from 1960 to 1963 -- Doll Boy, The Fourth...
