Often consumed with business decisions and staffing issues, four-star chef Eric Rupert sometimes asks himself: "When do I get to cook?" This book is Ripert's personal quest for the answer to that question; a journey in four different seasons to four different locales to "cook the landscape" and "cook from the guts."

Here is a stirring view into Van Gogh's world, as intimate as sharing "poulet" and "pommes sautes" with the artist himself. Written by the former chief curator of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam with one of America's foremost culinary authorities, this unique cookbook/art book explores the role of the Auberge Ravoux cafe in Van Gogh's life.

Starry Night is a fully illustrated account of Van Gogh's time at the asylum in Saint-Remy. Despite the challenges of ill health and asylum life, Van Gogh continued to produce a series of masterpieces – cypresses, wheatfields, olive groves and sunsets. He wrote very little about the asylum in letters to his brother Theo, so this book sets out to give an impression of daily life behind the walls of the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole and looks at Van Gogh through fresh eyes, with newly discovered material.
