What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

This text provides a celebration of regional French food through the palettes of the Impressionist painters, with 100 classic regional dishes. Many Impressionist paintings celebrate the conviviality of good food - of tables set out of doors - or vast picnics spread beneath the dappled shade of hospitable trees. The pictures by Monet, Manet, Berthe Morisot and Renoir exude the kind of relaxation and contentment that came from satiety. There is a beguiling serenity to be found in the charmingly laid, untenanted table in Monet's The Luncheon, while there is a more boisterous appeal to the crowded scene at riverside Restaurant Fournaise immortalised in Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party. The work follows the painters through five regions of France, exploring the different landscapes and celebrating the distinctive cuisines they would have sampled. Among the 100 recipes are dishes such as chicken Valle d'Auge, duckling with turnips, skate with black butter sauce, peas with bacon and lettuce, tarte tatin, red mullet with pistou and Swiss chard tourte.
