Recipes by Claude Monet
In the house of Giverny, in the kitchen and in the dining room, we can still feel the couple Monet’s soul, who had been able, in this country house, to create a simple and generous art of life according to their time and personalities.
Man who enjoys life, Monet has a passion for good food. Meals give rhythm to daily life of the family, they are taken on the hour, so they don’t disturb the artist in his works. Alice and Claude watch over to the quality of products, which come from the kitchen garden, from the farmyard and from Vernon’s market. They like to receive their friends, who vaunt the quality of meals almost as much as the beauty of the garden.
Recipes carried out by the cooks, comply with the image of this end of century. Both classical and inventive, always tasty and generous.
Recipes from the book "Les Carnets de Cuisine de Monet" by Claire Joyes Toulgouat (Editions du Chêne), available at the Foundation’s bookshop.
