Dames Who Read - One Souffle At A Time

In One Soufflé at a Time, Willan tells her story and the story of the food-world greatsincluding Julia Child, James Beard, Simone Beck, Craig Claiborne, Richard Olney, and otherswho changed how the world eats and who made cooking fun. She writes about how a sturdy English girl from Yorkshire made it not only to the stove, but to France, and how she overcame the exceptionally closed male world of French cuisine to found and run her school. Willan's story is warm and rich, funny and fragrant with the smells of the country cooking of France. It's also full of the creative culinary ferment of the 1970sa decade when herbs came back to life and freshness took over, when the seeds of our modern day obsession with food and ingredients were sown.
