Marcel Rouff

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcel Rouff (1877 in Geneva – 1936 in Paris) was a novelist, poet, critic, and historian, a friend of Curnonsky and his collaborator on La France gastronomique.

He is perhaps best-known for his account of the fictional gourmet Dodin-Bouffant, La vie et la passion de Dodin-Bouffant, gourmet (translated as The Passionate Epicure) published in 1924 and dedicated to Brillat-Savarin.

His father Jules Rouff published Jean Jaurès's Histoire socialiste, which Marcel contributed to.

He was a founding member of the Académie des gastronomes.
