Tonight, the authors of The Fonville Winans Cookbook will give a lecture at Preserve Louisiana.
Winans was a photographer who captured the essence of midcentury Louisiana life on the bayou, in the city and in the political sphere. He was also a passionate cook who spent decades perfecting his recipes, which range from Creole to international cuisine.
The authors, Cynthia LeJeune Nobles and Fonville’s daughter-in-law Melinda Risch Winans, will teach attendees about Fonville’s life and his many artistic pursuits.
