Book Description
One of France's greatest writers, Marcel Proust understood the evocative power of taste as well as words and his best-known work Remembrance of Things Past, scattered with references to food and cooking, was born of memories which spring to life when the author samples a petite madeleine. This book guides the reader, in Proust's own words, through the tastes of childhood, soirees with the Swanns and Madame Verdurin in Paris, the military scene, and high society. There are delicious recipes for entrees, fish and meat dishes and game, and desserts. Contemporary paintings and photographs, colour photographs of the recipes and location photographs of the places mentioned in the book, all evoke the magic and mystique of Proust's world.

ISBN: 1590514742
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 197

Book Description
“Tell me where you eat, what you eat, and at what time you eat, and I will tell you who you are. ”This is the motto of Anka Muhlstein’s erudite and witty book about the ways food and the art of the table feature in Honoré de Balzac’s The Human Comedy. Balzac uses them as a connecting thread in his novels, showing how food can evoke character, atmosphere, class, and social climbing more suggestively than money, appearances, and other more conventional trappings. Full of surprises and insights, Balzac’s Omelet invites you to taste anew Balzac’s genius as a writer and his deep understanding of the human condition, its ambitions, its flaws, and its cravings.

Chardin and Rembrandt

Author: Marcel Proust
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1941701507
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 63

Book Description
Chardin and Rembrandt is an unfinished essay written around 1895 by Marcel Proust. Oft overlooked in Prousts illustrious writing career, this book is a newly translated version by David Zwirner Books as one of the first two entries in its ekphrasis series. This essay is a literary experiment in which an unnamed narrator gives advice to a young man suffering from melancholy, taking him on an imaginary tour through the Louvre where his readings of Chardin imbue the everyday world with new meaning, and his ruminations on Rembrandt take his melancholic pupil beyond the realm of mere objects.

Book Description
Inspired by references to the ?delicious books of Pampille? in Proust?s Remembrance of Things Past, the veteran cookbook author Shirley King adapted this gastronomic gem of a book for the modern American kitchen. Marthe Daudet (1878?1960) was Pampille, and her book Les Bons Plats de France, originally published in 1919, is still regarded as a classic in France. Her intriguing mix of charming writing, insightful wit, and wonderful, authentic recipes makes this a travelogue as well as a useful cookbook. While remaining faithful to Pampille?s language and work, King has updated the recipes when necessary to make them practical for modern cooks.
