Monet's Palate - A Gastronomic View from the Gardens of Giverny
Get the first edition if you can
This book is an abreviated version of Entertaining in the French Style. This is its only fault. I bought the original edition out of curiosity since the recipes in the New Entertaining were so good. It turns out that some of the easier dishes in Entertaining were thrown out for the sake of brevity. These recipes are also very good and worthy of the attention of all lovers of the New entertaining. With Verge's recipes more is always merrier.
A wonderful Book!!
Not only does Verge offer some very easy to accomplish recipes, (I say easy, I am an experienced cook)) but he also offers wine suggestions which I really found helpful. The entire tone of this book is helpful, he will section off the book as to an entire meal, including wine and dessert. Mostly his style of eating the food, savoring the wine and dessert (all complimenting each other) makes it simple. Most of the ingredients are found by anyone who is proficient in the kitchen. He captures the spirit of enjoyment in fine dining...something Americans need desperately!!! We have lost the art of food.... that's why we are all shoveling fast food and horrible stuff from these "fusion chains" in. Viva la Roger!!!! Slow down, take pride in the food you have so beautifully created and sip your wine.
