Artists often talk about their art in terms of cooking and when we look at a beautiful painting we often do too! “Delectable!” “Delicious!” This lecture will be a feast for the eyes and the taste buds and will be a veritable inspiration for your cooking! It will feature the art anecdotes and recipes of artists who loved their food.

We will discuss Toulouse Lautrec, famous in his day for his truly fabulous meals and infamous cookbook; Renoir, who introduced to Paris the pleasures of Provencal peasant cooking, as well as Monet, Cézanne, Picasso and many others. Recipes will be posted on the internet – or bring a pen!
