Book Reviews of Monet's Table: The Cooking Journals of Claude Monet
Book Review: Great, artistic approach to eating.
Summary: 4 Stars
Sure, Monet's paintings are nice to look at. But until I read this book, I had no appreciation of the depth of Monet's gastronomic artistry. He was truly an artist of eating, and this book skillfully describes how Monet combined French cooking, rural 19th century technology and tastes, and a sensitive and demanding palate (no pun intended) to achieve some fine dishes. Although the heavy use of butter and fat may push our nutritional limits, I encourage anyone who loves a great meal to experiment with this great artist's approach to food. I especially like his use of fresh ingredients.
