- 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.

You are, after all, the Monet of what an impressionist eats in a day.
Stark Parker and you sir are the Chef John of references that can’t go wrong
Perfect comment
this comment, sir, has made me very happy indeed..
😁👌
🤣
"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*

OMG, I thought I was the only one!
4.20 am reading your comment with giggles.. Sometimes there are no rules except feeding my cat!
i never heard anyone say the "l" in "yolks" so distinctly lolol
The things you learn about yourself when you make youtube videos for 5+ years
rt3443 maybe it’s a Midwest thing. Everyone I know says it too. - Wisconsinite
came here for this
how am i surprised that the top comment is about her pronunciation of yolks
@@lobeoteu4713:
I can see that from how they pronounce folks.
Don't you know.
Man, I wish I was so in debt that I could afford a studio boat on the Seine. :P
HAH. I think the venn diagram of boat owners and debtors has quite a bit of overlap.

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!
Abby C I totally agree, I think that was one of my favourite parts.
I really missed these videos! I love them so much and really appreciate all the time that goes into them

I love that you keep the imperfections. It really adds to the video. I loved watching this!
Wish I could say it was a conscious decision :)
I was going to say the same thing! It's so entertaining. :)
This is the youtube comment equivalent of negging.
@@emdareful nah, I'm just one on those people who truly meant it as a compliment from the bottom of my heart and is too clueless to realise how it could be taken as a bad thing.
disagree
I enjoy all your videos but the Art Cooking series is my favorite!

I concur
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.
I didn't know there was a connection between diet and creation.This is pure b.s.
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.
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!
I visited his house and garden in Giverny. It’s well preserved and looks like his paintings.
i did too! it’s so so beautiful i almost couldn’t believe it
This video brought me a piece of mind that I can't describe
I love how you blend the food, artist’s life and their work so seamlessly! Beautiful!
Oh my goodness gracious I really thought you were gonna chop chop the chicken right there and then.
I wouldn't do that!
@@theartassignment You should have, I'm certain Monet would have enjoyed watching his son-in-law slaughter supper. It let's you know how fresh the meat is after all.
This is the cutest exchange I’ve ever seen on the Internet oh my goodness!!
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.
Yay thank you for making another art cooking!!
This is simultaneously one of the cutest, most interesting and certainly funniest videos on TH-cam I've ever seen. I could not spot laughing at the oh so sympathetic tablespoons/cup of sugar-desaster. Wonderful.
I love Art Cooking and Monet, so perfect combo.
Oh my god I breathed a huge sigh of relief when you let Mary Lou out of the bowl 😂
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!
I imagine in the future other art historians will be recreating meals from contemporary artists post-2010, staring with avocado toast for breakfast. How funny that will be to see!
monet and his dear friends degas and renoir are having lunch, talking and laughing............an art collectors wet dream
An Art History lesson AND a Binging With Babish style cooking voice over? I might’ve found my new favorite channel
I can't say I'm an absolute fan of Monet but I really do enjoy his work. I am really fond of the impressionist painters, and when I was studying humanities, his paintings really captured my attention. As an artist, I wasn't really interested in having my paintings articulate, and I hope I will grow to evolve in the same manner he did. His paintings captured the heart of the scene, and it makes you feel transported to where he was.
I didn't realize that his later work was also beautiful, and I will certainly look into it now.
Thank you the art assignment! I really love this channel and this series! I look forward to your updates!
Wait, I need to know Mary Lou's back story. Did you borrow a chicken just to psych us out like that?
I ran my fingers gently along his entire kitchen surface tops, when I was there. His bedroom view of his garden, fixiated me.
I absolutely adore the art cooking series, I've been binging through this playlist for the fourth time and will never get bored of the amazing smorgasbord of art and food that you cover!
This is one of my favorite channels. Thank you so much for creating these videos. You are as wonderful an artist as the ones you teach us about.
Thank you!
Plein air doesn't mean painting outside, it means something more along the lines of "the great outdoors", he enjoyed the great outdoors.
une autre Léa Thats the literal translation yes but in this context it refers to the outdoor painting technique that impressionists popularised.
I think that's the joke tho
These videos are wildly enjoyable. What a wonderful approach to eating. Thank you so much for your patient research and for taking the time to make these videos to share! I'm grateful for your work.
i just discovered your channel and absolutely enjoyed the wonderful storytelling, food, and paintings! I Can feel the passion and heart you put into it. Thanks again and have a nice day!
I love this series so much, thanks for putting so much effort into research and cooking
Great job! I have "Monet's Table" and made his onion dish and made his Gateau a L'Orange for my husband's birthday. Unfortunately, I didn't get to Giverny when I was in France and wish I had. Thankfully we can visit on the internet, the next best thing to being there, but not quite the same! I'm a professional artist and saw the Monet exhibition at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1998 which was fabulous. The famous lily pond paintings are huge and wrapped around the whole room in one big curve! One of my favorite Monet stories other than slashing his paintings if he didn't like them and throwing them in his pond in a fit of anger is when he died. They had wrapped him in black and then a close friend said , no, found a beautiful piece of colorful floral fabric and they wrapped his body in that instead....apropos! P.S. partially blind in one eye as well, blind artist with 20/20 in right eye! Thankfully! Merci for sharing!
I've always loved your videos, and these cooking themed films are a terrific addition to the collection. We get such an up close and personal idea of the man as well as the artist. Beautifully presented as ever. Thank you !
6:13 so what your saying is Monet borrowed many Money from Manet?
Just saw the Monet exhibition at the DAM. My life is changed! This video is an added gem. Thanks!
I keep coming back to this video! So well done and comforting in a way!
I love this show. Its just so informative, interesting, and funny, and its a cooking show. Truly a wonderful time to be alive
This was so enjoyable for me. To see Monet through a culinary/gardening lens has truly been eye 👁 opening for me. Thank you
This video was so fun and interesting, as always! Would love to see you tackle the eating habits of an Italian Renaissance artist - Michelangelo or Leonardo perhaps!
If you can find some info about their eating habits, please share!
This is probably my favorite video-series from you. :) Such a fun way to learn about an artist- through food!
This is one of the best videos on the internet. Thank you so much
Great video as always but is no one gonna talk about how Sara pronounces yolks
She has great pronunciations. Her voiceover is always wonderful.
It’s the correct way to do so
This video is perfectly timed, I'm learning about Impressionism in my art history class.
I most seriously did not expect to enjoy this wonderful presentation so much! Thank you for making all my mistakes for me. It will save time, later. And, here's a tip: to whip the whites more easily and quickly, put the handle of the whisk between your hands and twirl.
you really know the way to my heart, art assignment
I'm so glad I found this channel! Your videos are so well produced and creative and everyone in the comments is so nice.
This series is a work of art.
Man I love this - the dry humour and sarcasm along the great information about a great painter - I am greatful for the algorithm this time.
I feel like I might cry! Monet is one of my favorite artists and this is one of my favorite cooking series!
He lived a long fulfilling life, ate what he wanted, and achieved greatness. You really can't ask for much more than that.
I don't know what I love more about these videos: the food, the insight into the artist as a person, or the deliciously witty writing. So I'll just pick all of the above. :D Thank you for this! I learned a bit about Monet's garden along the path to the Chichu Museum (they've planted some hundred plus flowers and trees that show up in his artwork) but never knew that his personal garden was so full of food, or that he delighted so much in lunches with friends. Both of which are great to have and to do. :)
I have never been to Giverny and now after doing this I REALLY REALLY want to. I'm always curious to know whether visiting the homes of artists makes you feel like you, too, could be an artist. That even big name artists were people, too, who dealt with the same issues of daily life. Or in the case of Monet, does it only emphasize his "specialness" to see the beauty he surrounded himself with?
@@theartassignment That’s a very interesting question! You got me wondering about it now too. (Along with wanting to visit Giverny :) Hmm, thinking about it a bit, yeah, I agree there is that kind of duality there... I’ve visited the homes of a few architects and artists and there is a certain humanizing aspect to it, seeing their daily lives being as filled with the ‘mundane’ as anyone else’s. And yet, YET, those mundanities are happening inside of a quality of design and space and experience that is a cut above the rest, which is a result of their exceptional creative vision and acumen, a level to which I am definitively not currently at. I suppose we could let that duality serve as an inspiration - this is where I am, and this is what is possible. I see that gap, now let’s go play and work to fill it. :)
I really appreciate the enthusiastic nihilism of your cooking. That is also how I work in the kitchen. Lol!
So glad to see these back! I know with the book and the new art assignments, your video idea docket is probably full, but I would love to see an Art Cooking on the still lifes of Chaim Soutine. While it would definitely lean towards the “horrendous futurist meat sculpture” end of the spectrum, I think they are some of the most visceral and emotionally gripping paintings in the Western art canon.
The vegans in the audience would love that, wouldn't they.
thankyou so muuuccchhh!! its like learning history in a very fascinating way! love it!
we were there only recently SO loved it!! Could return any day! The garden was amazing!
This continues to be maybe the best series I've ever watched
This is the most innovative and interesting way to talk about Monet and cook food at the same time. I've never watched a video like this😮 I love this SOOO much!!❤🖼 good job!
I love art cooking so much!! Thank you!!
I love art cooking so much, it combines two of my favourite things!
Watching this can't help the mental image of John Green being forced to eat over cooked eggs.
Knew how to live... Well, he lived - outlived his both wives, colleagues, friends. One can only hope that the beauty he captured brought him some joy too.
The more I researched, the more I saw him as completely committed to his work, letting it bleed into all aspects of his life. If the work was going well, he was happy. If it wasn't, he took it out on his family and employees. Not sure of the percentages of good days and bad.
Have only made it to lunch but had to stop to say thank you. This is the first of your videos I’ve seen. What a luscious, scrumptious, delicious, lots of other adjectives idea to pair art and food in such a sweet way. Thank you!
I got the notification halfway through my treadmill run and I must say, this video made gym far more entertaining
How to Make French Breakfast: Prepare a simple and healthy menu, then add butter wherever possible, as much as possible.
this is so fun to watch;; i've always love painter biography videos but this is an even better!
8:47--Tarte Tatin, yum. That one looks lovely. I'll definitely be trying it. I've made Tarte Tatin before, but previously used another recipe (from Food Wishes) and I always swapped out the apples for pears (apples are delicious, of course, but I love pear desserts, too).
This was a wonderfully relaxing video to watch. The combination of history and cooking, the calm presentation, and the narrator's soothing voice were all fantastic. If you take requests, I'd love to see a video on what a less wealthy artist at the turn of the last century would have had on his table. I'm writing a novel set in 1920s France, one of its characters is a poor painter, and whenever possible, I like to cook/taste food before I feature it in my work. In other words, I never feed my characters things I haven't at least tried myself. :)
makes me hungry not just for food but also for painting!! These videos are so awesome! Thank you for making them :D
Oh, please more of these entertaining videos of what artists ate!!! Very inspiring and interesting to watch. You put a lot into it and it's amazing to watch - thank you :D
My favourite series on your channel! :D I analyse food and cooking in literature as part of my research, and your approach here is both joyful and educational - couldn't ask for more.
Wonderful. We have a Poetry Cooking in the works, that I am very excited about.
@@theartassignment I will watch it with AGGRESSIVE attention; how delightful! :D My channel has a video on Han Kang's The Vegetarian, if you've read it, and how its presentation of food and lack thereof plays into understandings of culture and fear. Take a look if you like! Either way, much love from Kolkata x
Wow very good ! a combination of Art history & French culinary . Just excellent !
Just made the eggs in my toaster oven ...with butter, munster cheese, toasted, buttered sesame bagel with honeycomb garnished with cilantro ~ delish!!!
Deeply from heart I love his way of painting,the books style amazing. 👍
I sincerely appreciate your imperfect cooking, great attitude and the love you convey for your subject-art (as Monet himself would have been quite difficult to love!).
I love Art Cooking so much! It relaxes me in these trying times. Thank you, PBS, for lowering my blood pressure during, coincidentally, my own lunch break. ❤
this video is something i never knew i needed. wonderfully made and incredibly entertaining!
Best quarantine find
Loved this video, I am a big fan of Monet's paintings and learned that he was a big eater like me...that apple tart looked perfect...bravo!
I love these videos. They bring me so much joy at seeing the inner-workings of artists' lives and shed light on the other art forms (food) that they employed. It also makes me incredibly proud to be a baker and a cook who curates their own recipes in the endeavor that someday, one will find a sense of peace in making them as you have done with some of Monet's recipes.
It brings me so much joy that you, a baker and cook, can watch my fumblings and still enjoy the show. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here.
What a great program I found on youtube! thank you.
I love these cooking episodes sooo much! Can't wait for the next one! :-)
I'll try all of those meals !
Thanks for your videos ❤
And I never knew that looking someone cooking could be so relaxing..
I loved this! I learned a lot, the video and photos are beautiful, and your narrative and sense of humor are informative and fun. Cheers!
You are such a delight, so entertaining and informative.
“Please meet Mary Lou...” I just died during this segment. Rofl brilliant!
I know have a new list of cook books to look into. 🤤
What a wonderful video! Monet if one of my favorite french painter, thank you for making this!
this is a quality channel
I know he is no painter, but I would really love to see someone try to recreate Erik Satie's eating habits^^
What were they? Please share.
@@Spearca "cotton salad"? i tried googling it and didn't find anything what is it? (was satie joking about that part?) i'd want to watch that video too, good suggestion
Erik Rensberger what a cool and funny dude
@@austinfernando8406 Satie joked a lot. He was known for having an unusually mischievous sense of humor... even in his written directions as to how many of his piano compositions should be played. You could learn more about this from "Satiesfictions: Promenades with Erik Satie" DVD; very entertaining and clever in how Satie's life is profiled.
Thank you for sharing this! I'm fond of his work, but I haven't delved into Satie's history.
mixing art, and artist's life, and cooking. Superb and Original!!
Waterlilies (1916-19) has recently come to my city on loan from the New York Met... and god, seeing it pop up again here at 12:53 gave me the oddest most excited feeling... isn't it fascinating that we can share this? that some of us can point to this canvas and say "I was here." ??
Everything about this video is beautiful!
I LOVE THE ART COOKING!!!!! I made the Van Gogh stuff and it made me so happy!!
I already loved Monet, but now his life is goalsss
Thank you for everything you do, great content as always
1925 book "Touring Through France", mentioned they saw Monet painting outside in his garden as they passed by his home in their model-T!
Monet is my favourite ❤ This was a delight 😘
Excellent narration. Loved the cooking part too.
This was so delightful! Great way to incorporate cooking and art into a production.
I love this cooking-history lesson!
