Monet's Table: The Cooking Journals of Claude Monet

I am an artist, a cook & a Monet fan & was quite pleased with this lovely biographical cookbook. The photos accompanying the information about the family & household were especially nice. The methods of running the household to create a pleasant family environment yet provide a wealth of vignettes sparking artistic creativity was especially appealing to me. The garden, even while being planted was already being mentally designated for an art piece. The best part was about the way Monet lived his life & his devotion to his family & art. And we are the one's who get to enjoy his garden yet today through his masterpiece paintings. The book will be placed in my kitchen, to refer to for great old recipes as well as handy to read again & again. I appreciate Monet even more after reading this book.

BEAUTIFUL BOOK SHOWING MONET'S HOUSE AND GROUNDS. WONDERFUL PICTURES AND RECIPES. ILLUSTRATES THE KITCHEN SETUP AND HOW THEY RAN THE HOUSE AND KITCHEN IN PARTICULAR. ARRIVED ON TIME, GREAT CONDITION. ADDED TO MY COOKBOOK COLLECTION.

This is a beautiful cookbook with photos of Monet's home and garden. I love it! Don't intend to cook anything but will enjoy looking at his favorite dishes and his beautiful home.

Pretty interesting read for a Monet lover like me. I may try the pistachio cake which he loved. All the info about life at Giverny is super interesting.

We had recently visited Monets house in Givernay, France and the kitchen photos made us feel like we had returned. There were some wonderful recipes but most importantly was the opportunity to get a peek into his everyday life.

Amazing book rich with details about Monet's life and "domestic" habits. Filled with delicious (I have been testing!) recipes that are as dreamy as they are "light." The cakes and most desserts are wonderfully concocted with eggs, almond meal and relatively tiny amounts of flour and sugar! Beautiful to browse and fun to use as a cookbook. Highly recommended!

The photos are wonderful, have not tried the recipes but certainly a few things would be very hard to obtain.That is unimportant to me.The copy I purchased is signed by the grandson but we have yet to determine what his brief note in the front open pages means.A lovely purchase

My husband loved this book. Great photos , recipes, and stories.

When the book arrived it did not look like the book pictured opposite, however provides a delightful trip through Monet's life, living at Giverney and his love of cooking for all to follow. Lovely illustrations, charming quotes from many different people from different walks of life and recipes which will be fun to try. The book is second hand, but in very good condition. The first page had an ink pen handwritten note (which had been covered up by white sticky lables) which just added to it's authenticity. A delight!

Bought this book after visiting his gardens !Its well presented,interesting and a great coffee table book too!Lots of my friends have admired it,and it reminds me of a lovely day spent their in the gardens and the house on my birthday!

great condition. Very interesting recipe book, and aesthetically nice.

Love it

Lovely book pleasure to read and reread thanks x
