The Wizard of the Kitchen. How a Dutch Chef Became a Pioneer in British Culinary Education

cover Wizard of the Kitchen

No doubt, if Iwan Kriens (1871-1957) had lived in our century he would have been actively involved with cookery shows on television. He would have been a member of the jury in Master Chef or may even would have had his own programme. For Iwan Kriens was knowledgeable, charismatic, amiable, and not afraid to give his opinion. In her latest book, ‘The Wizard of the Kitchen’, Dutch author Trudy van der Wees tells the fascinating life story of the famous Dutch chef, who became a pioneer in British culinary education and helped to change the professional and social cookery culture in Britain. The book was first published in the Netherlands in 2018 and is now also available in an English edition.
