Great chocolate recipes
An interesting combination of information about Van Gogh's last months in a small town together with recipes from a restaurant in the auberge (inn) where he was living.
The recipes are from a functioning restaurant and the chocolate recipes are the best you will ever taste - and easy to make.
Gorgeous Magnificent Book!
The Grandmother's Apple Cake recipe in this book is my favorite recipe on Epicurious so I bought the book hoping the other recipes would be as good. Wow! It was so beautiful and interesting and so much more than a cookbook that I gave it to a good friend as a Christmas gift and ordered another.
This is really half art book, half cookbook. The book is co-written by an art historian (mostly the first part, which recounts Van Gogh's last days, spent in the hotel, when he churned out 70 paintings in 70 days) and Alexandra Leaf, a food historian, who together with the chef at the hotel (which exists to this day) includes recipes for dishes Van Gogh ate. They're fantastic. Highly recommended.
It's wonderful
It's entertaining and educational. I really enjoyed. Great gift idea.
