Marcel Rouff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcel Rouff (Geneva, 1877 - Paris, 1936) was a novelist, poet, critic, and historian, a friend of Curnonsky and his collaborator on La France gastronomique.
He is perhaps best-known for his account of the fictional gourmet Dodin-Bouffant, La vie et la passion de Dodin-Bouffant, gourmet (translated as The Passionate Epicure) published in 1924 and dedicated to Brillat-Savarin.
His father Jules Rouff published Jean Jaurès's Histoire socialiste, which Marcel contributed to.
He was a founding member of the Académie des gastronomes.
