For readers of Paula McLain, Nancy Horan, and Melanie Benjamin, this captivating novel is inspired by a little-known interlude in the artist's life."A tasty blend of romance, mystery, and French cooking."--Margaret Atwood, via Twitter The French Riviera, spring 1936: It's off-season in the lovely seaside village of Juan-les-Pins, where seventeen-year-old Ondine cooks with her mother in the kitchen of their family-owned Caf Paradis. A mysterious new patron who's slipped out of Paris and is traveling under a different name has made an unusual request--to have his lunch served to him at the nearby villa he's secretly rented, where he wishes to remain incognito. Pablo Picasso is at a momentous crossroads in his personal and professional life--and for him, art and women are always entwined. The spirited Ondine, chafing under her family's authority and nursing a broken heart, is just beginning to discover her own talents and appetites. Her encounter with Picasso will continue to affect her life for many decades onward, as the great artist and the talented young chef each pursue their own passions and destiny. New York, present day: C line, a Hollywood makeup artist who's come home for the holidays, learns from her mother, Julie, that Grandmother Ondine once cooked for Picasso. Prompted by her mother's enigmatic stories and the hint of more family secrets yet to be uncovered, C line carries out Julie's wishes and embarks on a voyage to the very town where Ondine and Picasso first met. In the lush, heady atmosphere of the C te d'Azur, and with the help of several eccentric fellow guests attending a rigorous cooking class at her hotel, C line discovers truths about art, culture, cuisine, and love that enable her to embrace her own future. Featuring an array of both fictional characters and the French Riviera's most famous historical residents, set against the breathtaking scenery of the South of France, Cooking for Picasso is a touching, delectable, and wise story, illuminating the powers of trust, money, art, and creativity in the choices that men and women make as they seek a path toward love, success, and joie de vivre. Praise for Cooking for Picasso "Intrigue, art, food, and deception are woven together in a tale of love and betrayal around the life and legacy of Picasso. Touching and true, this well-written narrative made me long for my mother's coq au vin and for the sun of Juan-les-Pins."--Jacques P pin, chef, TV personality, author

Good quality

Great choice for events and you want an eco friendly option. Big and sturdy, no leaks. We used them for a 50th birthday party with a hot food buffet.

Thick plates
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
I’ve been trying to find thick paper plates that I purchased on Amazon years ago.this is the closest I’ve found, but still not as thick. They hold up well with the ability to put a lot of food on the plate. We don’t put much wet food on it, but I think it would do well.

Great plates, but a little expensive
Size: 125 Count (Pack of 1), Color: White
These plates are easy to use for just about any meal. They are strong and durable, and they come in various sizes to fit your needs. They’re sturdy and hold plenty of food, without getting soggy or sagging. Their sturdy compostable concept is fabulous, but it seems that it results in the item costing a bit more than I’d expect to spend regularly.

Great plate, great value
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
I have been purchasing these plates for over a year and a half to two years and they’re quite excellent. They are very durable and hold up exceptionally well. A great value for the dollar.
