In celebration of the Museum's fall exhibition Monet's Water Lilies, this class will feature a few of Claude Monet's favorite recipes. A devoted "foodie," the artist kept detailed cooking journals and grew herbs and produce in his famed garden to make the fresh, rustic meals that he and his family enjoyed. You will be guided by natural foods chef Elisheva Margulies on a journey through these culinary delights, with additional wisdom on Monet's artwork by a Museum docent.
