My guess:

Francois Pierre de la Varenne

'Le Cuisinier Francois'

But would you look at this that I found, nearly 200 years before Catherine di Medici brought some Italian servants with her and taught the french about cooking.....

" The Forme of Cury" was the first cookbook published in English in 1390.

"The first English cookbook was written in 1390 by the cooks,

physicians and philosophers of Richard II.

Not correct, sorry.

Will give the answer in 1 or 2 days to keep the race open.

You might be right about the first cooking book; but the question is about first French cookbook, isn't?
