Dione Lucas (10 October,1909 – 18 December,1971)〔(Good cooking / by Dione Lucas - National Library of Australia )〕 was an English chef,〔(Cooking for the Camera ) Time Monday, May. 30, 1955〕 and the first female graduate of Le Cordon Bleu. Lucas was fundamental in establishing an extension of the famous Paris culinary school in London in the 1930s. She worked as a hotel chef in Hamburg before World War II and later wrote that Adolf Hitler often dined there and had a taste for stuffed squab. She later opened a Cordon Bleu restaurant and a cooking school in New York. She also ran the Egg Basket restaurant by Bloomingdale's in New York. One of the earliest television cook-show hosts, Lucas's ''To The Queen's Taste'' was broadcast on CBS in 1948-1949 from the restaurant. She had another show in the 1950s. Dione Lucas was the first woman featured in a cooking show on television on WPIX-11 in New York.〔(Dione Lucas - Cook Books )〕 In one of her New York restaurants, ''The Gingerman'', Lucas helped to introduce the omelette to the American palate. She can be seen as a predecessor and influence to Julia Child. Dione Lucas authored several cookbooks on French cuisine. ==Quotes== *"The preparation of good food is merely another expression of art, one of the joys of civilized living." *"I do not mean to spoil your appetite for stuffed squab, but you might be interested to know that it was a great favorite with Mr. Hitler, who dined at the hotel often. Let us not hold that against a fine recipe though." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dione Lucas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
