Does anyone remember the name of the elderly French woman giving cooking lessons in SF in the 1970's?

Does anyone remember a French woman who gave cooking lessons in San Francisco in the 1970's? She would sometimes appear on local TV shows, but I don't think she ever had a cooking show of her own.

She was rather short, with white hair and she spoke with quite a heavy French accent.

Josephine Araldo?

I have her cookbook, Cooking with Josephine, acquired when I was first learning how to cook for myself.

I've had/ that one for a very long time, probably since it first came out and sometime within the last 10 years I found another one. Sounds from Josephine's Kitchen. I really like them.

Yes! That is exactly who I was thinking of. Thank you very much.

She was born in Brittany in 1897 and died in SF in 1989. Looks like she wrote 3 cookbooks.

I like that cookbook very much too, whenever I remember to look at it. Recipes for dishes that have disappeared from the vernacular.
