Brigit Legere Binns

Brigit Binns is the author or co-author of nineteen cookbooks and editor of many others. She has also co-authored cookbooks with some of the country’s most respected chefs, including Los Angeles’ Joachim Splichal, and has translated countless complex restaurant dishes into home cook-friendly food. Brigit lived in Europe for ten years, where she graduated from England’s Tante Marie cooking school, owned her own catering business, and edited the English-language magazine of Spain’s Mediterranean coast. While pursuing her career, she has always entertained as though her life depended on it, and did have a habit of re-inventing the wheel for each dinner party – often with rather unfortunate results. But after three marriages on two continents and dinner party disasters in cities and towns across the globe, she’s finally learned the truth: great cooking doesn’t have to be hard. These days, her kitchen is very relaxed!
