Marguerite Imbert

Marguerite Imbert is an author, talk show host, and cultural critic based in the United States. Without attending culinary school or receiving formal training, Marguerite became a professional chef to notable American figures and a food writer at The Michelin Guide while in her 20s.

Not a Cookbook is her debut book, and details her refreshing and unusual method of cooking (and, yes, baking) without recipes. “You’re a great cook,” she writes, “whether you know it yet or not.” This guided, eight-week journey leads you through your kitchen with daily challenges and reflections.

Designed for children and adults alike, the book invites you to draw, color, write, reflect, move, stretch, and cook. A yoga and meditation teacher, as well as a birth doula, Marguerite leads you through an unexpected and welcome range of exercises to activate your creativity and intuition.
