I'm pretty sure that's the one. I don't own a copy, and seem to recall
it was semi-out-of-print when I read part of it, back in the late
80's. Yeah, Anne Willan, it was.
Other possibilities include Wheaton's "The Delectable Past", which is
about mostly French food but contains a lot of information about
chefs, and Eric Quayle's "Old Cook Books" (which is, as the title
suggests, about cookbooks and their authors).
Adamantius
"Most men worry about their own bellies, and other people's souls,
when we all ought to worry about our own souls, and other people's
bellies."
-- Rabbi Israel Salanter
