If you could have dinner with any three people who would it be and why?
I would not limit myself to three - I would want a royal banquet with cookbook masters and gastronomes and we should all spend a month in the country cooking and discussing food history: Epicurus (343-270 BC), Galen (129-210 AD), Marcus Gavius Apicius, Taillevant [Guillaume Tirel] (1312-1395), Martino (1450-1475), Platina, Bartolme Scappi (1540-1570), Gervase Markham 1568-1637), (Max Rumpolt, Robert May (1588-1665) LaVarenne (1615-1678), Vatel, Francois Massialot (1660-1733), Vincent La Chapelle, Menon 1740s, Nicolas Francois Appert (1750-1841), Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), Count Rumford (1758-1814), Grimod de la Reyniere (1758-1837), Hajji Bekir (1760-1856), Marie Antoine Careme (1784-1835), Alexis Soyer (1809-1858), Urbain DuBois (1801-1901), Charles Elme Francateli (1805-1876), Jules Gouffé (1807-1877), Pierre Blot (1818-1874), August Escoffier (1846-1935), Charles Ranchoffer & Lorenzo Delmonico (1812-1881), Earle R. MacAusland ((1892-1980), Kenneth Lo (1913-1995), Lajos Szathmary (1919-1996), Henry Haller, Roland Mesiner, Jacques Pepin and Ivan Day. I would ask them to bring the grande dames of food: Hannah Glasse (1708-1770), Elizabeth Raffald (1733-1781) Sara Josepha Hale (1758-1879) Mary Randolph (1762-1828), Eliza Leslie (1787-1858), Elizabeth Acton (1799-1859), Lydia Maria Child (1802-1880), Henriette Davidis (1802-1876), Marion Harland (1830-1922), Isabella Beeton (1836-1865), Juliet Corson (1841-1897), Ellen Richards (1842-1911), Maria Parloa (1843-1909) Mary Lincoln (1844-1921),1905), Sara Tyson Rorer (1849-1917), Agnes Bertha Marshall (1855-Fannie Merritt Farmer (1857-1915), Irma S. Rombauer (1877-1962) Lillian Moller Gilbreth (1878-1972), M.F. K. Fisher (1908-1992), Mrs. Mary A. Wilson, Julia Child, Anne Willian, Nancy Florsheim Goldberg, Rose Levy Beranbaum, Susan Notter, Barbara Ketchum Wheaton and Nina Simonds.
