Leah Chase was raised in a small, country town across Lake Pontchartrain
from New Orleans. With the values instilled in her by devoted
parents--hard work, faith and family--she soon grew into a woman to be
reckoned with. In her roles as chef of the most popular Creole
restaurant in New Orleans, nationally respected patron of the arts, and
civic leader, she has influenced the world around her in important ways.
Reading her story in this, her only biography, makes one think, If she
can do it, maybe I can too.
