The cooks put together their own, personal five-course meals for four persons. Each recipe is accompanied by the painting that served as its direct inspiration. Thanks to unique detail illustrations, the reader can view famous and not-so-famous paintings through the eyes of the chef. The Rijksmuseum Cookbook is about more than the art of cooking, however, for it also grants us a peek into daily life in the seventeenth century. Author Bert Natter not only deals with housekeeping, etiquette and culinary culture in the Golden Age, but also with the origins of the ingredients used and the history of the recipes. This feast for the senses constitutes a contemporary view of the greatest treasures of the Golden Age.   Revies: What the press wrote Read on   The recipes: What to expect in this cookbook Read on     Salmon: no more than twice a week?
