Marthe Distel
Marthe Marie Joséphine Distel (French pronunciation: [maʁt distɛl]; 18 September 1871, Remiremont — 1 April 1934, Saint-Leu-la-Forêt) was a French journalist.[1]
Career
Marthe Distel started the culinary magazine Palais Royal. The classes led to the development of a more formal school, now known as Le Cordon Bleu.[2]
Heritage
On her death in 1934, at age 62, Distel left the school to an orphanage, which struggled to manage it.Élisabeth Brassart.
The magazine ceased publication in the 1960s, but the school has evolved from its single location in Paris to more than 27 schools in 17 countries.[4]
