What Did Monet Eat in a Day?

This episode of Art Cooking explores the life, art, and eating habits of the great Impressionist artist Claude Monet. We prepare a menu based on the journals Monet kept during his years in Giverny, France, enjoying the freshest produce from the vegetable garden he kept along side the extensive flower and water gardens you recognize from his paintings.

"Our man Claude liked to arise early: at 5 AM or first light"
Me: *looks at time* - 5:12 AM,
*Just got in bed and was gonna watch a video before sleeping*

You are, after all, the Monet of what an impressionist eats in a day.

I really missed these videos! I love them so much and really appreciate all the time that goes into them

[abbyc]

The art cooking series is so wonderful! Watching the food be prepared and eaten really connects you to the artist's life and their idiosyncrasies, like the peppery salad. I'm always so excited to see any video in this series!

Man, I wish I was so in debt that I could afford a studio boat on the Seine. :P

[nincomboob]

i never heard anyone say the "l" in "yolks" so distinctly lolol

[ampz]

I love that you keep the imperfections. It really adds to the video. I loved watching this!

[clairemcnerney]

This is absolutely my favorite series on the internet! It's so thoughtful and I love seeing the connections between diet and creation--and watching you make delicious looking food is definitely a plus.

Loved this! I’m working on a presentation on Monet’s garden and this gave me inspiration. Plus, it’s been fun to listen to your commentary. You speak really well.

[FrankGutowski-lsjt]

I visited his house and garden in Giverny. It’s well preserved and looks like his paintings.

Lol did anyone else think of the Instagram cloud eggs when they saw the eggs orcini? A cloud egg is a yolk separated from the white, the white is beaten to a stiff peak, baked in an oven until lightly tanned, the yolk is added back and they’re backed together for another minute or so. Eggs orcini is basically a cloud egg casserole and that makes me very very happy.

I enjoy all your videos but the Art Cooking series is my favorite!

[JeweledRoseStudios]

Monet has been one of my favorite artists for quite a long time, he and O’Keeffe (Who I am distantly related to, ) are some of the most wonderful painters of their environment, with so many colors and interesting methods. I was happy when you covered her, and I am overjoyed to see you covering Monet now. Thank you so much for your videos!

[e.h.]

This is simultaneously one of the cutest, most interesting and certainly funniest videos on Youtube I've ever seen. I could not spot laughing at the oh so sympathetic tablespoons/cup of sugar-desaster. Wonderful.

[plainolbowlorice]

Oh my goodness gracious I really thought you were gonna chop chop the chicken right there and then.

[Dan-vrzs]

This video brought me a piece of mind that I can't describe

[Design_Galore]

While I have been reading chess grandmaster chef articles at chessbase while studying their masterpieces, I never knew I could as well find such great content in form of painting! Thank you!

[rossyoung]

6:13 so what your saying is Monet borrowed many Money from Manet?

[Vardagaladhiel]

I love how you blend the food, artist’s life and their work so seamlessly! Beautiful!
