History
Le Cordon Bleu, the culinary arts school, was founded in Paris in 1895 by Marthe Distel. Fannie Farmer, one of the most well-known advocates of scientific cookery opened Miss Farmer's School of Cookery in Boston on August 23rd, 1902. Hers was not the first however, as she herself graduated and was subsequently principal of the Boston Cooking School, which was founded by the Women's Education Association (WEA) in Boston in 1879. The advent of the Boston Cooking School was probably the most influential but at the time a cooking school already existed in New York City.

It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
