Les Dames Collection at the Boyd Culinary Library

The LDEI Board, in collaboration with the New Orleans Chapter, is excited to announce the Les Dames d'Escoffier International Collection at the John & Bonnie Boyd Hospitality & Culinary Library in New Orleans. https://natfab.org/sofab-culinary-library-and-archive/

The purpose of the Collection is to create a place where all of the books and papers written by members of LDEI can be deposited and maintained as a coherent collection. Additionally Dames are encouraged to donate other culinary books in their libraries which will enlarge the collection. The LDEI Collection will include the works by living Dames as well as those who are no longer with us.

Donating is easy! The librarian in charge of the collection is Cindy Williams, cindy@southernfood.org. Please contact her in advance of making your donation. Send your books and papers to the Boyd Library, 1609 O.C. Haley Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70113, Attn: LDEI Collection. Please include your name, address, email and phone number. You will receive a letter of thanks and acknowledgement. Your donation is tax deductible.
