In a legacy of canvases rich in carefree conviviality, the work of the Impressionists bears witness to an insatiable appetite for life, food, and friendship. Eating and drinking have always been at the heart of French culture, and the luminous paintings of artists such as Renoir, Degas, Manet, Monet, Czanne, and Pissarro record the minutiae of caf and domestic life, from exquisite still lifes to a table laid beguilingly for an open-air lunch. In The Impressionists' Table, Pamela Todd has gathered100 timeless, traditional French recipes: Lamb and Artichokes, Grilled Sea Bass with Butter Sauce, Provenal Beef Stew, Tarte Tatin. Lavishly illustrated in color with paintings by all the great artists, as well as enticing photos of the dishes themselves, this sumptuous volume links the world's most sophisticated cuisine with its best-loved artists.
