Is French Food Dead? A Brief Culinary History
December 1, 2010 Meeting, 7:15pm

Ronnie Hess, author of Eat Smart in France (just published by Ginkgo Press) will take us through several chapters in French history--foreign invasion, war, pestilence, New World exploration, feast and famine, colonial conquest, revolution, occupation and immigration--and argue that centuries of cross-cultural exchange have created a culinary pattern of change. French cuisine -- whether haute, bourgeois or regionale -- continues to adapt and evolve.

Ronnie Hess is an award-winning journalist who has had a long and passionate interest in food, especially French food. She has lived and worked in France as a reporter for CBS News and as an English teacher; her food and travel writing has appeared in national and regional publications. She studied cooking with Liane Kuony at the Postilion Restaurant and School of Culinary Arts in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin.

In light of Ronnie_Suburban's recent posts, I think this question has been answered right here on the pages of LTH Forum with a resounding NO.
