Menus: A Book for Your Meals and Memories

Description

One of Oprah's 2018 Favorite Things! An illustrated journal to record celebrations, with paintings by the legendary chef and artist Jacques Pepin For the last fifty years, Jacques Pepin has created lushly hand-illustrated journals to keep track what he cooked for friends, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and holidays.

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 Pepin, this "dinner diary" is both a practical reminder of what dishes were served to which guests and an invaluable archive of memories.
