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 lotion
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
Vaseline intensive care just makes really good lotion. I’ve never been steered wrong by them. And getting these on clearance was so good. I’m still on my first bottle, but I don’t put it on every day. Maybe twice a week. So the bottle has lasted seven months so far and there’s still a quarter of the bottle left. That means I have at least two years worth of lotion for $10. Can’t beat that. And it’s a good lotion to boot. The fragrance isn’t too strong. It absorbs really quickly and keeps your skin soft. The pump works great. I haven’t gotten any clogs or anything yet. Though, I usually don’t have those if I’m using it as often as I have been. Highly recommend would buy again… in a couple years.

Decent lotion, good for not so dry climate.
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This lotion smells amazing. I usually don’t go for scented lotion but I’m a sucker for sweet chocolate-y scents. This lotion smells like brownies. It’s not particularly mild so make sure you’re okay with it. It’s not a thick lotion in my book, has a yogurt consistency. You can feel the moisturizing effect as soon as you put this lotion on. It is a comforting lotion without being sticky or heavy, easy to absorb into skin. Although very nice and comfortable feeling when putting on, it doesn’t last through the next day in Colorado winter. I have to use it one more time on my legs during the day otherwise I get itchy. I apply this lotion at night after shower and I don’t shower put lotion on the next morning. If you do shower and lotion up in the morning then this might be good enough for a whole day. I’m used to applying lotions on damp skin but this lotion is very easy to spread, feels nice going on my dry legs as well. I love using it after washing my hands. I apply lotion every time I wash my hands and this lotion works great in that regard. It doesn’t feel greasy or particularly slippery when I wash my hands again either. I might try another lotion for winter once I finish these bottles but this is definitely a solid product, and I can see myself repurchasing in the future.

My Favourite Body Lotion
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I love this lotion so much. It's not greasy, and very moisturizing. The fragrance is amazing and smells delicious ! Unfortunately 2 out of 3 of the bottles had broken pumps when I tried to open them. I wish there were more for the price, so I switched to the Amazon Basics version. Is good for all skin types! The amount in the bottle is decent.

Smooth and Radiant
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I have been using the Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Lotion for a while now, and it is easily my favorite for keeping my skin hydrated. This 3 count pack is a fantastic value for anyone who wants to maintain a consistent glow without constantly running to the store. Why This is My Go To: Deep Hydration: The combination of Pure Cocoa Butter and Ultra Hydrating Lipids really works. It penetrates deep to heal dry skin rather than just sitting on top. The Perfect Glow: It gives my skin a natural, radiant finish that looks healthy. It’s perfect for summer or whenever I want my skin to look its best. No Greasy Residue: One of the best parts is how quickly it absorbs. I can apply it and get dressed immediately without feeling sticky or oily. Amazing Scent: The cocoa fragrance is warm and comforting. It smells high quality and lingers just enough to be pleasant throughout the day. Final Verdict: If you are looking for a reliable, everyday lotion that actually delivers on its promise of smooth, vibrant skin, this is it. The 20.3 Oz pump bottles are super convenient for daily use, and the formula is a lifesaver for dry skin.

Perfect for sensitive skin
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have insanely sensitive, blemish prone skin and have been struggling to find skincare products that don’t irritate my skin. This was recommended to me by my dermatology office and I’m obsessed. My skin doesn’t get irritated and I don’t break out. It feels amazing. Not too thick, not too thin. As an added bonus, it smells great.
