In The Secret History of French Cooking, Luke Barr takes readers inside the culinary rebellion that upended the staid French food world and reinvented the role and cultural importance of chefs and restaurants.

The book also tells the largely unknown story of a group of women chefs who fought for recognition in the all-male culinary establishment of the 1970s.
