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 shaped cooking over the past three centuries. The book begins with Hannah Woolley’s first cookbook, published in 1661. It moves on to the early colonial period, when transformative popular works by Fannie Farmer, Irma Rombauer, Julia Child, Edna Lewis, Marcella Hazan, and Alice Waters remain relevant today.
Willan briefly describes each influential woman, highlighting her key contributions, seminal books, and representative dishes. The book features fifty original recipes, along with updated versions Willan has tested and modernized for the contemporary kitchen.
