A Dinner & Book Signing
with
Anne Willan
Author of
The Good Cook
Friday, October 15, 2004
7:00 PM
In The Good Cook, Anne Willan, teacher extraordinaire, provides a cooking course in a book, a richly illustrated volume that intertwines countless lessons with hundreds of recipes to bring her compelling voice into the kitchens of novice and experienced cooks.
One of the author's goals is to seduce busy people into the kitchen by proving that small lessons yield bountiful results. Anne notes, "I know free time is in short supply, but if you give a little of it to learning some culinary techniques, you'll discover that the more you know, the more fun cooking becomes."
Anne Willan has had an extraordinary career in the culinary arts and is established as one of the world's preeminent authorities on French cooking. She is director of La Varenne at The Greenbrier, a post she has held since 1990. Anne founded Ecole de Cuisine La Varenne in Paris in 1975, and the school is now centered in Burgundy at Château du Feÿ.
"Well, the legend, Anne Willan, has done it again — she's given us another masterpiece!" —Charlie Trotter
"Brasserie Jo springs straight from the heart of chef/owner Jean Joho." —Jerry Shriver, USA Today
"This big, boisterous real brasserie in River North is still one of the best, thanks to Jean Joho's outstanding new-French and interesting bistro fare. C'est si bon!" —Zagat, 2004-05
"Best new restaurant of the year." —James Beard Foundation, 1996
