A great book, part anecdotes, part recipes. I've lived in Auvergne for long & the book is a tribute to the people & their cuisine.
Do try the the recipes; they're the true ones.
Highly recommended.

.Monet's Table: The Cooking Journals of Claude Monet
City Travel Guides > Books > Gastronomy
by: Claire Joyes

December 12, 2006
As a lover of the Impressionist movement, I felt compelled to make the pilgrimage to the house of Claude Monet located a few miles north of Paris in the small town of Giverny, Normandy. Monet's refuge is a shrine of the art world renowned for its beautiful and expansive garden filled with flowers, trees, a lake and its famous bridge.

When I entered Monet's home, the dining room made a strong impression upon me: large, very inviting and splashed in yellow as if Monet had tried to capture the strong summer sun to overcome the cloudy winter days of Normandy. The table for twelve was tastefully set with blue and white china with a centerpiece of dazzling fresh flowers, as if beckoning its guests to prepare for a savory adventure to ... Read More:

.The Making of a Chef: Mastering Heat at the Culinary Institute of America
City Travel Guides > Books > Gastronomy
by: Michael Ruhlman

1999-10
I first stumbled accross this book at the public library and checked it out once and read it in record time. I checked it out a second time and read it again. I wanted to read it a third time and purchased my own copy so the librarian wouldn't think I was too strange! I enjoyed hearing tales of the students' successes and failures and watching their progression through the program. Michael's book makes my desire to change careers and attend culinary school even stronger, but it also brings the reality of the demands of a culinary program to light. A must read for anyone interested in culinary school or those who truly love to cook!

.Lobscouse and Spotted Dog: Which Is a Gastronomic Companion to the Aubrey/Maturin Novels
City Travel Guides > Books > Gastronomy
by: A Grossman

October 04, 2000
Haven't you missed the point somewhat? The many people who appreciate this book are not necessarily interested in saving money.

Many of the dishes that I have cooked and served based on the book have been well within my budget and well received by my guests, because they are wholesome, generally healthy and represent good old British heritage. If I find something new and interesting, I do not stint on what I eat; my attitude to food is that you get what you pay for. Is toasted cheese really beyond your resources?

I suspect you may be a cousin - if so I think you should stick to the various US burger outlets being inflicted on us - it's the nearest thing to millers you'll be able to experience, and that is why it's ... Read More:

.Pleyn Delit: Medieval Cookery for Modern Cooks
City Travel Guides > Books > Gastronomy
by: Constance Hieatt, Sharon Butler

1996-06
Pleyn Delit offers a great variety of simple to medium hard recipes that can be adapted to your current menu or replace it if the ambition is there. The recipes are tasty and well-explained. Some ingredients are hard to find but for the most part replacement items are named. With this book, I've concocted complete medieval meals as well as odds and ends for special occasions while increasing the depth of my family's usual menus.
