Three panels depict recipes from Mrs. Marquis de Sade's cookbook, all of which are intended to be torturously bad. In the first panel, Mrs. Marquis de Sade serves "World of Hurt Broccoli." The instructions are: "Chop up a bunch of raw broccoli, throw it on a platter, and serve without dip. Invite people over, stand back, and enjoy." The second recipe is "Eggs Tormento." The instructions are: "Scramble egg whites and cook them in canola oil. No matter how much you are begged, refuse to provide salt." The final recipe is "Dungeon Burgers." The instructions are: "Form patties out of spelt and fat-free yogurt. Serve without mercy." The three panels show Mrs. Marquis de Sade deriving great pleasure from watching her suffering guests eat her food.

The premium giclée print is produced on thick (310 gsm), textured watercolor paper made from alpha cellulous wood pulp that is acid free. It shares the same vivid colors, accuracy, and exceptional resolution that make giclée prints the standard for museums and galleries around the world.
The premium photographic print is digitally printed on high-gloss premium photographic paper. The result is a unique silver pearlescent finish with stunning visual impact and depth, suitable for museum or gallery display.
The stretched canvas print is the result of sophisticated digital printing technology in which the image is printed directly onto an artist-grade, 100% cotton canvas.
