About the Author

Pierre Franey was born in 1921 in Saint Vinnemer, a small village in Burgundy, France. He learned the basics of cooking from his mother and grandmother, and when he was fourteen, he was sent to Paris to become a cook. After a stellar career as executive chef at New York's superb French restaurant Le Pavillon, Franey began his hugely popular "60-Minute Gourmet" column for The New York Times in 1975. It was syndicated in several hundred newspapers and soon led to the two bestselling cookbooks The New York Times 60-Minute Gourmet and The New York Times More 60-Minute Gourmet. He published more than a dozen cookbooks in his career, including several collaborations with Craig Claiborne. Pierre Franey died in 1996, leaving us an enduring legacy of fine food and good taste.
