He was without doubt, one of the most influential of modern writers about food. He has a very strong claim to be considered the best." -Times, London Richard Olney, one of the first food writers to introduce the simple joys of French cooking to American readers was an American who lived in Europe for almost 50 years. He died unexpectedly July 31, 1999.Author of more than 35 titles and inspiration to hundreds more his works include French Menu Cookbook, Simple French Food, The Good Cook, Yquem, Ten Vineyard Lunches, Romanee-Conti, Provence the Beautiful, Lulu's Provencal Table, Good Cook's Encyclopedia, and French Wine and Food.
