Photograph of chef and teacher Nathalie Dupree (left) working with a student at her cooking school, which opened at Rich's Department Store in Atlanta, Georgia in 1975. Both of the women wear aprons. The student attends to the food, and Dupree looks on. The school ran for almost ten years and enrolled more than 10,000 students.
As the first woman since Julia Child to film more than 100 cooking shows for public television, Nathalie Dupree has helped bring southern cooking to the nation's attention. Recognizing the contributions of European and African cooks, she emphasizes traditional ingredients and foodways that can be traced back through the Great Depression of the 1930s to the Civil War (1861-65). Through her teaching, writing, and filming in Georgia, Dupree has helped citizens of the state to preserve and expand their culinary heritage, and her influence has contributed, in particular, to Atlanta's emergence as a "food town." - Metadata URL:
