Mimi thorisson first husband

Home is everything to the cook and cookery writer Mimi Thorisson. Her nineteenth-century house, at the heart of a small and charming village in the Médoc, is the focal point of both her family life and her working day. It is also home to her photographer husband Oddur, their seven children (with one more due this summer) and nine dogs - mostly terriers but also a German shorthaired pointer. In addition, it is often featured in her blog, Manger, and the television programme La Table de Mimi, shown on the French channel Canal+. Full of character, history and life, the house has also influenced her cookbooks.
'I knew right away that this was a house in which I could get inspired,' says Mimi. 'When we first saw it, it reminded me of a Marcel Proust novel; a few minutes after we walked in, we were running from room to room and fell in love with it. I really believe in love at first sight. And then, strangely enough, I found out that the house came complete with a story about a legendary chef and a hotel and restaurant. It gave me goosebumps.'
The house, in Saint-Yzans-de-Médoc, dates back to the 1870s, and was once owned by a baker's wife who had a passionate affair with the local mayor. He gave her the house as a gift. She took the opportunity to realise

Mother Muse - Chapter Eight - Mimi Thorisson
Tell us a bit about you...
Mimi Thorisson, I am half French, half Chinese. I had the chance to grow up in Hong Kong until I was 18, I will never forget the incredible years spent there. I've lived in Singapore, London, Paris and in the Médoc. I studied business, worked as a model, and had a career in corporate entertainment. Since I was a child, I have always been a 'bon vivant', passionate about food and cooking. When my husband Oddur and I met in Paris, I fell madly in love and the rest was history. At that time, I had an awakening of who I really was, what I really wanted to do. I knew I wanted to be happy, have a family of my own, and cook for everyone I loved. Everything flowed naturally and very organically: the children, moving to the countryside, the cooking, the writing, the cookbooks. So far, I have written three cookbooks, 'A Kitchen in France', 'French Country Cooking' and 'Old World Italian'. My passion and dreams turned into reality. Sometimes I can't believe I managed to create such a harmonious life between love, family and work. But it was a long path, it was all about hard work, believing in yourself, courage, tenacity, strength, and patience.
Where do you live and how long have you lived there?
