Mireille Guiliano (born April 14, 1946, in Moyeuvre-Grande, France) is a French-American author and former corporate executive at LVMH.
Mireille Guiliano was born in 1946 in Moyeuvre-Grande, France. [1] She completed a year of her education as an exchange student in the United States and studied French and English literature at the Sorbonne Nouvelle (1966–1970) and received her master's degree. She also graduated as a translator/interpreter from the Institut Supérieur d'Interprétariat et de Traduction (ISIT). [2]
Guiliano began her career as a multi-lingual translator, including work for the United Nations. In 1979 she left the translation industry and joined the Champagne News and Information Bureau where she first began working with Veuve Clicquot. In 1984 the company asked her to create an American subsidiary, Clicquot, Inc. [3] where she would become CEO [4] in 1991. In this position she increased the market share of the wine from 1% 1984 and to 25% at the end of her tenure. [3] In 2005 she joined the board of the James Beard Foundation [5] and sat on the Executive Committee of Moet-Hennessy at LVMH. [6] She retired from Clicquot in 2006 to become a full-time writer. [7]
Her book French Women Don’t Get Fat sold 450,000 copies between December 2004 and April 2005, and was translated into several dozen languages. [4] Overall it sold more than three million copies within ten years. [7] She then published the book French Women for All Seasons in 2006. [8] In 2009 she released the book Women, Work & the Art of Savoir Faire: Business Sense & Sensibility, a life and career advice book that Publishers Weekly wrote uses "a sense of chic and fun absent in other leadership and career guides." [9] In 2010 she then returned to the French Women series, releasing her book The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook. [10] In 2013 she published the book French Women Don't Get Facelifts: The Secret of Aging with Style and Attitude, which focuses on "aging gracefully". [11] In 2014 she then released her book Meet Paris Oyster: A Love Affair with the Perfect Food, in which she advocated for a greater diversity of diet, [7] and specifically discusses the consumption of shellfish in French culture. [12]
The New York Times called Guiliano's work "eminently level headed" and noted that she included "reasonable thoughts about nutrition with a general endoresement of joie de vivre." [13] Others have criticized her work for promoting a stereotype of French women, failing to cite scientific literature on the causes of obesity in the United States, and promoting unhealthy attitudes towards food. [14] [15] [16] Zoë Williams specifically criticized Guiliano's catchphrase "la moitié, s'il vous plaît" ("just give me half of that, please"). [17] In 2007, Gawker.com ran an article consisting of anonymous employees of Guiliano's that criticized her management style and behavior. [18] The San Francisco Chronicle called her first book "a blueprint for building a healthy attitude toward food and exercise," and The Daily Telegraph stated it was "beautifully written." [19]
Guiliano' husband Edward Guiliano, is the President Emeritus of the New York Institute of Technology. She is the co-founder of the Guiliano Global Fellowship Program with her husband. [20]

The French paradox is an apparently paradoxical epidemiological observation that French people have a relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD), while having a diet relatively rich in saturated fats, in apparent contradiction to the widely held belief that the high consumption of such fats is a risk factor for CHD. The paradox is that if the thesis linking saturated fats to CHD is valid, the French ought to have a higher rate of CHD than comparable countries where the per capita consumption of such fats is lower.

The historical form of service à la russe is a manner of dining that involves courses being brought to the table sequentially, and the food being portioned on the plate by the waiter before being given to the diner. It became the norm in very formal dining in the Western world over the 19th century. It contrasts with the older service à la française in which all the food is brought out simultaneously, in an impressive display of tureens and serving dishes, and the diners put it on their plates themselves.
