About This Item
Nora Pouillon is a social entrepreneur and champion of organic cuisine. The proliferation of organic food and farm-to-table cuisine primarily owes its existence to one of Washington, D.C.'s most celebrated chefs.
Nora Pouillon's new memoir, My Organic Life: How a Pioneering Chef Helped Shape the Way We Eat Today (Knopf), spans 40 years of culinary history and tells the personal story of a leader of the organic revolution. Born in Vienna and raised on a farm in the Alps, Pouillon was shocked to discover what Americans were eating, even in the best restaurants, when she came to the United States in the 1960s. Since then, Pouillon has been determined to make a difference, first as a teacher and then as a premier organic restaurateur.
Nora been a pioneer and champion of organic, environmentally conscious cuisine since she opened Restaurant Nora in 1979. Twenty years later, Restaurant Nora became the nation's first certified organic restaurant.
