Portrait of a Chef: The Life of Alexis Soyer, Sometime Chef to the Reform Club - Cambridge Library Collection - British and Irish History, 19th Century
Helen Soutar Morris
Alexis Soyer (1810–58) was perhaps the first celebrity chef. A flamboyant, larger-than-life figure, he nonetheless took his profession very seriously. This biography, first published in 1938, is based on Volant and Warren's anecdotal account of 1859 (also reissued in this series), and faithfully conveys the adulation he engendered in his lifetime.
