Franey, Pierre

Franey, Pierre
▪ 1997

      French chef (b. Jan. 13, 1921, Saint-Vinnemer, Fr.—d. Oct. 15, 1996, Southampton, Eng.), as the masterful head chef (1945-60) at the legendary Le Pavillon restaurant in New York City, used his culinary expertise to elevate the establishment to the rank of the country's first world-class French restaurant; he later won fame as a cookbook author and New York Times food columnist. After an apprenticeship at Drouant, one of Paris's most famous restaurants, Franey accepted a job as a cook in the French pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Beginning in 1976, he teamed with New York Times food critic Craig Claiborne to write "The 60-Minute Gourmet" column, which featured Franey's recipes for simplified French cooking. He also collaborated with Claiborne on five well-received cookbooks and published an autobiography, A Chef's Tale (1994). In the 1990s Franey starred as a television chef and toured as a cooking instructor; he died three days after suffering a stroke aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2, where he had given a cooking demonstration.
