He also figures into Ruth Reichl's novel, Delicious! that came out a year or so ago. My husband was a James Beard fan, although I fancied myself too much of a health-food vegetarian to enjoy Beard's style of cooking. We have the Beard on Bread cookbook and it has gotten a lot of use over the years.Laurie Chttp://baystatera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-54715908623050569322015-03-14T10:24:20.045-05:002015-03-14T10:24:20.045-05:00Like you, I've heard of James Beard but don...Like you, I've heard of James Beard but don't know much about him other than his prestigious awards.
