Madeleine Kamman (1931-2018) was a highly regarded, cranky, opinionated, refined feminist and chef, who taught hundreds of cooking students over her career and influenced American cooks in innumerable ways. She was regarded as a leader of what she called "cuisine personelle" - part of the nouvelle cuisine movement that reinvented the classics of French classical cuisine. This is the most famous of her 7 cookbooks, and is a memoir with recipes.
