The papers of Anne Willan, a
British-American expert in French gastronomy, provide a comprehensive survey of the
operations of the École de cuisine La Varenne founded by Willan in Paris in 1975 and of
Willan's writings and TV programs. The papers consist of correspondence, brochures, drafts,
typescripts, press clippings, photographs, videos, and electronic records. The archive also
includes drawings, ephemera, manuscripts and prints collected by Willan and her husband Mark
Cherniavsky. Dating from the 16th to the late 20th century, these works illuminate the
preparation and consumption of food and its display in England, France, Germany, Italy, the
Netherlands, and the United States.
