“Cookbook writer Willan (The Country Cooking of France), who founded La Varenne Cooking School in Paris, shares her life story in this charming memoir. Born in England in 1938, Willan grew up in Yorkshire, where she enjoyed watching her family’s cook at work. She gained an enthusiasm for food and cooking, a preference considered ill-bred at the time, and went on to study.” — Melissa Stoeger in The Library Journal

I was so glad to receive another cheerful review of my memoir from The Library Journal. Here’s hoping this is just one of many more to come!
