Customer Reviews

Roger Verge is a culinary artist in Monet's Palate

Roger Verge is a culinary artist both in this book and in my film Monet's Palate - A Gastronomic View from the Gardens of Giverny as he prepares sea scallops especially for Claude Monet - Aileen BordmanMonet's Palate - A Gastronomic View from the Gardens of Giverny

Almost as good.

While not as good as Verge's vegetable book, there are few disappointments. My main criticisms is that it isn't as well organized as his vegetable book and the children's recipes at the end are not well written. (Try to make the Pinapple Christmas tree and you'll see what I mean.) Nevertheless, more than worth the money. As with all of his books, many recipes have found their way into dishes that I frequently prepare. A must for culinary francophiles.
