Edouard de Pomiane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edouard de Pomiane (20 April 1875 - 26 January 1964) was a French scientist, radio broadcaster and food writer.
His best known works to have been translated into English are Cooking in Ten Minutes and Cooking with Pomiane. His writing was remarkable in its time for its directness (he frequently uses a strange second-person voice, telling you—the reader—what you are seeing and smelling as you follow a recipe) and for his general disdain for "traditional" elaborate French cuisine. He travelled widely and quite a few of his recipes are from abroad. His recipes often take pains to demystify cooking by explaining the chemical processes at work.
