Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This book flawlessly melds gastronomic details with a biographical survey of the artist's life. Lavish illustrations include reproductions of Renoir's paintings and splendid color photographs that assist the text in summoning up an intimate evocation of Renoir's family life and his impressive career. A sheaf of recipes is the book's foundation, re-creating the ambiance of meals Renoir might have shared with guests such as C{‚}ezanne, Morisot, or Mallarm{‚}e at the artist's idyllic retreat--Les Collettes--in the French country. Alice Joyce

Lovely, but the Monet and Morris versions are better,
By Earth Witch "Earth Witch" (A garden of delight) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Renoir's Table (Hardcover)
A lovely to look at book, but the recipes are complicated and might not appeal to 21st century cooks. I also did not get a good feel for the times from the pictures. I would rather own an art book specifically about Renoir or the Impressionists. I have many of these historical, picturesque cookbooks and would recommend the Claude Monet or William Morris versions before this one.

Part of a series presenting history, art, everyday habits, surroundings, and meals of French artists like Renoir. Very well done with great photos and recipes. Series also covers Cezanne, VanGogh and Monet.
