One of Oprah's 2018 Favorite Things!
An illustrated journal to record celebrations, with paintings by the
legendary chef and artist Jacques Pépin
For the last fifty years, Jacques Pépin has created lushly
hand-illustrated journals to keep track what he cooked for friends,
birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and holidays. This book collects
Pépin's favorite paintings so you can commemorate your own dinners: the
dishes you serve, the wines that accompany them, and even the music you
play. Choose from the more than 75 charmingly designed borders and use
it to frame your menu. In the space on the opposite page, your guests
can sign their names and write little notes.
With an introduction by Pépin, this "dinner diary" is both a practical
reminder of what dishes were served to which guests and an invaluable
archive of memories.
