About Marguerite Bise
Marguerite Valentine Bise was a French chef and restaurateur at her restaurant Auberge du Père Bise in Talloires, Haute-Savoie, France. In 1951, she became the third woman to win three Michelin stars. Marguerite was the head chef, and created dishes such as crayfish gratin, and Bresse chicken served with tarragon. During the 1930s, Marguerite became one of the best known French chefs, alongside Alexandre Dumaine, Fernand Point and fellow female chef Eugénie Brazier. These three female chefs were referred to as the "Lyon Grandmothers"; it was more than fifty years before a fourth female chef won three Michelin stars when Anne-Sophie Pic gained them in 2007.
