Women in the Kitchen, by Anne Willan, a multi-award-winning culinary historian, cookbook writer, teacher, and founder of La Varenne Cooking School in Paris, explores the lives and work of women cookbook authors whose essential books have defined cooking over the past three hundred years. The book begins with the first cookbook published by Hannah Woolley in 1661. It moves on to the early colonial days when the transformative popular works by Fannie Farmer, Irma Rombauer, Julia Child, Edna Lewis, Marcella Hazan, and Alice Waters were still working today.
Willan briefly describes each influential woman, highlighting her key contributions, seminal books, and representative dishes. The book features fifty original recipes and updated versions Willan has tested and modernized for the contemporary kitchen.
