Alma Lach: chef artist and sorceress of gourmet cooking
Alma Lach, author and former Sun-Times food editor, describes cooking as a practical art using all senses. She recalls discovering Cordon Bleu in Paris, earning a diploma, and writing 52 basic recipes to spark creativity rather than obey a cookbook. Lach plans future projects including a new printing of Cordon Bleu and a Chinese cuisine book, while hosting biannual eight course dinners for gastronomes at home.
