From Library Journal
This beautifully packaged book is a rare treat for admirers of Monet, especially those who have any interest in cooking. Joyes, author of other works on Monet and the wife of Mme. Monet's great-grandson, provides background on life at Giverny; Joel Robuchon, one of France's top chefs, tested the recipes; Naudin contributed stunning photographs of Monet's house and garden; and there are reproductions of many of the artist's works, as well as pages from his cooking journals. The recipes themselves are generally for typical French country food, though there is celebration fare here, too. Unusual, and a treasure.
