Synopsis
An illuminating cookbook which explores the food and art of 19th-century France--an era ablaze with the genius of such artists as Monet, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Morisot, Cezanne, Pissarro, Manet, Gauguin, and Degas--Celebrating the Impressionist Table contains 100 elegantly presented, classic recipes typical of what the artists themselves would have enjoyed. 70 color photos.

Reviews
Journalist Todd scrutinizes the art and fares of the impressionists, from Brazille to Sisley. Here, the human (and occasionally, humane) side of these masters stands out; for instance, Monet was an inveterate gadget guru who owned a state-of-the-art, hand-cranked ice cream machine. Gauguin was an admirable cook, though his fight with van Gogh precipitated the infamous left ear mutilation. And Renoir preferred brie only from Paris. Not as worthwhile (but nonetheless instructive) are the 100 accompanying recipes, all in the classic French tradition of high-fat cooking with butter, cream, flour, and sugar; few are streamlined for today's kitchens or stomachs. Besides, who would dare drip a spoonful of aioli on Monet's The Picnic? Barbara Jacobs
