Marion Cunningham, L.A. Times Home Cooking column, "Clarisse Explains It
All", 10/6/94, page H2. "One of my favorite books about food is
`Clarisse, or the Old Cook.' A very small book, almost 100 years old,
it propounds the reflections and prejudices of `Clarisse,' the Chinese
cook of an English aristocrat. There is a small note in the front of the
book that reads: `This book is by a French connoisseur who wished to
remain anonymous.'"
