Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Instructor Becomes Published Author
ATLANTA (Aug. 6, 2010) - Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts (LCB) in Atlanta is proud to announce Chef Instructor Henry Haff as a published author. Chef Haff’s book, titled “The Founders of American Cuisine,” will hit bookstores this fall.
“We are excited to see Chef Haff’s hard work come to fruition,” said Glenn Mack, LCB in Atlanta president. “LCB instructors have a great passion for food in and outside the classroom, and this book demonstrates Chef Haff’s dedication to the field.”
The book looks at seven historic chefs and authors who influenced the creation of American cuisine. Chef Haff provides an analysis of the cultural and culinary significance of Amelia Simmons, author of the first known American cookbook; Mary Randolph, whose “Southern Cuisine” is considered the first regional American cookbook; Miss Leslie and her bestselling 19th century work; Lafcadio Hearn’s “La Cuisine Creole;” Charles Ranhofer’s influence on the role of the modern chef; and Victor Hirtzler and his California cuisine. It also includes recipes from each chef, with notes to aid adaptation by the modern cook.
“This book has been a joy for me to write,” said Chef Haff. “I’ve always enjoyed learning the origins of cuisine and how it evolves, so I’m honored to be able to share this in my book. “
