Description: Monet's Table: The Cooking Journals of Claude Monet Hardcover – May 15, 1990 by Claire JoyesPhotographs by Jean-Bernard Naudin Having visited Giverny several times, this is an amazing book rich with details about artist Claude Monet's life and domestic habits. A true 'must have' book for anyone who loves good food, his impressionist art and his gardens. Claude Monet lived for half his life in the famous house at Giverny starting in 1883. His growing success meant that he was able to indulge his passion for comfort, good living and of good food. Just as the inspiration for many of Monet's paintings was drawn from his beloved gardens and the surrounding Normandy landscape, so the meals served at Giverny were based upon superb ingredients from the kitchen-garden, the farmyard, and the French countryside. The recipes collected in his cooking journals include dishes Monet had encountered in his travels or had come across in restaurants he frequented in Paris as well as recipes from friends, such as Cézanne's bouillabaisse and Millet's petits pains. Author Claire Joyes, wife of Madame Monet's great-grandson, has spent years selecting the Monets' favorite recipes and writing a wonderfully evocative introductory text. All of the recipes have been artfully prepared and brought back to life in Monet's own kitchen by master chef Joël Robuchon. Illustrated with sumptuous reproductions of Monet's paintings, spectacular original four-color photographs of Giverny, selected shots of finished dishes, and facsimile pages from the notebooks themselves, this book provides a fascinating and unique insight into the turn-of-the-century lifestyle of one of the world's most celebrated Impressionist painters. This is the PERFECT gift for any friend or family member that loves Claude Monet and Giverny. This is my estate sale as I am retiring and downsizing. Book has been stored in bookcase in nonsmoking home with no children or pets and condition is excellent.
