COOKBOOK WATCH

The food-and-painters cookbook trend continues with the release of “Celebrating the Impressionist Table” (Stewart, Tabori & Chang; “29.95) by one-time Punch magazine food and art writer Pamela Todd. The book is filled with classic still lifes and dining scenes--Renoir, Monet, Manet and Gauguin are just a few of the artists included--and intensely colored photos of the dishes described in the recipes.
