Kiss the Cook Apron

Bring a touch of classic British humour and domestic charm to your kitchen with this limited-edition apron, exclusive to House of Voltaire. British painter Beryl Cook frequently included affectionate portraits of friends and family in her work. In this playful painting, originally created as a personal birthday card for her husband John, she depicts the birthday boy serving up a quintessential British fry-up while wearing a cheeky novelty apron. Whilst by many accounts, Cook was shy and reserved – often too shy to attend her own exhibition openings – themes of sexuality, pleasure and a particular brand of seaside British sauciness appear throughout her work. Adding joy to everyday domestic routines, this high-quality apron makes a delightful gift for culinary hosts and art lovers alike.
