Betty Groff

Elizabeth "Betty" R. Groff (''née'' Herr, September 14, 1935 – November 8, 2015) was an American celebrity chef, cookbook author, and authority on Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine. Groff authored six cookbooks focusing on Pennsylvania Dutch foods, including ''Good Earth and Country Cooking'', which ''Time'' magazine called "one of the top five regional cookbooks introduced in 1981."

In 2015, ''The Patriot-News'' further praised her contributions to regional food traditions, writing "Groff was to Pennsylvania Dutch food what the late chef Paul Prudhomme was to Cajun cooking." Provided by Wikipedia
