The First Celebrity Chef.
I think it's safe to say that Frank decided to write about Alexis Soyer for several reasons; the foremost being that, he was at one time, married to Alexis Soyer's great, great Granddaughter and, having a vested interest, Frank began his research into Alexis Soyer in the late 1990s. It wasn't long before Frank discovered that very little was known about Alexis Soyer, even by his own family. The second reason, I believe was, that due to a sense of fairness, Frank decided that Alexis Soyer, a French Chef of the Victorian period; who was to become the most celebrated Chef of the era, deserved better, and set out to write Alexis Soyer's Biography. It took many years of research and, a great deal of patience; due in part, to the many erroneous statements written about Soyer over the years, and sadly, much of Alexis' story remains untold, mainly because it was impossible to find supporting evidence for certain events. However, realising that writing about characters like; Alexis Soyer, were very rare, he continued, until finally, the manuscript was finished and, published with Amazon Kindle on September the 6th, 2011.
