Femme Fatale of Food
Diana Kennedy 1923-2022
A true female pioneer of Mexican cooking. Diana was a British food writer and educator. Much like Marcella Hazan and Julia Child, Diana is credited for introducing the tastes and techniques of worldly cuisine to the English-speaking world. She lived in every Mexican state, learning the different regional cooking styles first-hand and observing and interviewing the people there. Her research included studying the food and culinary styles in faraway villages. She cataloged a mass of diverse recipes and traditions to focus on preservation. Due to this, many refer to her as a culinary anthropologist.
The Cuisines of Mexico, 1972, one of her 9 cookbooks, has been a part of my culinary upbringing. I found this cookbook at an estate sale in Grosse Pointe in the early 1990’s. By way of food, I traveled to Mexico through the mouth-watering, traditional recipes. Pick up a copy and learn more about the array of cuisines in Mexico. Your belly will thank you!
Femme Fatale of Food
Julia Child 1912-2004
What can be said that hasn’t been said about the legendary Julia Child? I remember watching her practical culinary instruction and fun-loving chatter on her PBS series as a child. I have looked up to her as a culinary inspiration ever since, even naming my firstborn Julia. She is credited for introducing French cuisine to America and making it much more approachable to folks on this side of the pond. I highly encourage folks to try some of her lesser-known recipes in her debut cookbook, the double-volume Mastering the Art of French Cooking. While some are daunting, it contains some real gems. I am grateful to own a first edition of this legendary compilation, and my (pictured) second volume is signed by Simone Beck, who co-authored this with Julia Child.
A couple of lesser-known fun facts about JC: She became interested in food while living in China, working as a spy. Her last meal before her death at age 91 was a bowl of homemade French onion soup. Lastly, and my favorite, she credited her long life to “red meat and gin.”
