Bernard was born on 2 March 1921 in Paris, the daughter of a dyer. She began working as a typist at the age of 17, after the war, and was employed by
Unilever
in 1946.
One day, the company's communication department asked her to play the role of a culinary consultant. The character Francoise Bernard was invented in 1953
[3]
by concatenation of the two most common first names of the 1950s, for public speaking and radio. Francoise extols the benefits of
Astra
margarine (owned by Unilever), using recipes she presents with the help of recipes that she presents. From 1960 onwards, she also promoted the benefits of the brand's materials
Groupe SEB
, which earned him the nickname of "Madame Cocotte-minute".
[4]
She received more than a thousand letters a month from her listeners. She then worked on
RTL
. In 1963, she wrote a recipe book that competed with
Ginette Mathiot
's. In these
Trente Glorieuses
, she symbolizes the modern housewife, cooking faster and cheaper.
Her book
Les Recettes faciles
has sold over 1 million copies.

Francoise Bernard died at 100 on 19 September 2021.
