Sylvie Bigar, winner of the 2020 NY Press Club Journalism Award for Travel Writing, joins LILRC to discuss her new memoir, Cassoulet Confessions: Food, France, Family and the Stew That Saved My Soul (Hardie Grant, 2022).
“Sylvie is an eloquent writer who fervently weaves her culinary adventures with tasty moments of her life." - Daniel Boulud, chef and restaurateur
“A surprising gift of a book. Is it about food, and the true ways of making one of the great dishes of the south of France? Is it about the secrets of family? Or love and appetite? Or everything? A great read. You will never think of a cassoulet in the same way.” –Bill Buford, bestselling author of Heat and Dirt
International food and travel writer Sylvie Bigar was born in Geneva, Switzerland, and is based in New York City.
