Description
The Impressionists were, for the most part, a gregarious crowd whose work bears witness to their insatiable and infectious appetite for life, food and friendship.
Celebrating the Impressionist Table celebrates the travels, fetes and relationships of these friends against the backdrops of Normandy, Paris, the Seine, Brittany and Provence. Luminous canvases record the minutiae of domestic life - from exquisite still-lifes, to an idyllic picnic scene, or a beguiling table set for an open-air lunch - and provide an inspiring complement to one hundred beloved recipes. This timeless fare reflects regional specialties with a touch of the 19th century.
This combination of text and recipes, illustrated by a feast of evocative paintings and specially commissioned photographs, adds up to a mouthwatering celebration of French regional cooking.
