Around Columbia
Dinner with Monet Hosted by the Columbia Design League at the Columbia Museum of Art March 17
COLUMBIA, SC - March 17, 2013 - The Columbia Design League celebrates the exhibition Impressionism from Monet to Matisse with a dinner inspired by Claude Monet's table on Sunday, March 17 from 5:00 until 8:00 p.m. at the Columbia Museum of Art. Rosso Trattoria's Chef Kristian Niemi used Monet's cooking journals to create a four-course menu with wine pairings.
Monet, a great gourmet, was as particular about his foods as he was his painting. The recipes collected in his cooking journals include dishes Monet had encountered in his travels or had come across in restaurants he frequented in Paris as well as recipes from friends, such as Cezanne's "bouillabaisse" and Millet's "petits pains."
The dinner is $80 / $70 CMA members / $60 CDL members.
This event is co-sponsored by Southern Wine and Spirits and Whole Foods.
