The "story" was not particularly interesting to me - I didn't need to know about Monet's travels, especially about how picky he was as an eater. Monet or art history are not interests of mine. I was much more interested in the recipes. These are a nice assortment - pastries and sweets, vegetables, meats - mostly pretty straightforward; few dishes had complicated sauces, many were one-dish or close to it. I haven't actually made any yet, though I marked quite a few for trying at some point.
