Mme Pithou

As broad as she is tall and with a bosom of quite startling proportions, Madame Pithou has been Yves Armistead's cook for more years than she might care to remember. Though Madame Pithou's birthdate is undocumented, Yves recalls refusing to eat her game pies in early childhood. She came to Bedford Square in 1808 in order to vet potential cooks for the playwright and, despairing at British culinary expertise, elected to remain in order to ensure Yves was properly fed.

Of Monsieur Pithou, nothing is known; Yves has long since speculated that those game pies may have contained more than venison.
