The Dish Divas' philosophy that good food is something to
be savored, not shunned, is being spoken with a French accent
and we couldn't be more excited and proud. Hip & Healthy
Heroine, Mireille Guiliano, who appears on page 224 of The
Dish (see excerpt below), is the author of the fabulous
new book, French
Women Don't Get Fat.
In it, Mireille shares her personal story of coming to America
as an exchange student, gaining weight and then returning
home to re-learn the time-tested secrets of French women who
love to eat, but know how to do it sensibly. The Dish Divas
say, “Bravo!” and “Voila!”
Hip
and Healthy Heroine: Mireille Guiliano
A BUBBLY LIFESTYLE
The yellow label of Champagne Veuve
Clicquot, made in the city of Reims in Champagne,
is perhaps one of the most popular and sought after
champagnes today, because it’s an icon of quality
and style. Crisp, slightly spicy, perfect as an apertif
or with a meal, it’s the “Armani of Champagne.”
Mireille, who is President and CEO of Clicquot, Inc,
lives in New York and travels back and forth to France
just about every five weeks. She is one of our Hip
and Healthy Heroines because she knows how to live
with great energy and terrific style. Petite and full
of life, she says, “I have never been on a diet!”
Instead prefers to eat a light breakfast, such as
yogurt, and enjoy small portions of delicious foods
for lunch and dinner. Champagne is, of course, part
of her healthy life too. She says, “Perhaps
the best clue to unlocking the secrets of the health
benefits of champagne are some real life examples.
Madame Clicquot who founded the company, lived to
the elegant age of 89 years (1777-1866) Currently
we have 4 generations of Chefs de Caves or cellar
masters from Champagne Veuve Clicquot still living.
The oldest, M. Zeche, will turn 100 next year and
still swims almost every single day!” So, perhaps
when Ponce de Leon was looking for the Fountain of
Youth, he should have set his sights on Champagne!
