Auguste Escoffier

    28 ottobre 1846 – 12 febbraio 1935

    Georges Auguste Escoffier fu uno chef e autore francese che modernizzò i metodi culinari tradizionali. Semplificò e raffinò le elaborate tecniche di Antoine Carême, diventando una figura leggendaria per chef e buongustai. Oltre alle sue ricette, Escoffier contribuì in modo significativo all'elevazione della professione culinaria attraverso una disciplina organizzata nelle sue cucine. La sua opera fondamentale, Le Guide Culinaire, rimane un riferimento essenziale e le sue tecniche e approcci continuano a influenzare la gastronomia mondiale.

      He was the "King of Chefs and Chef of Kings," doyen of haute cuisine, one of the founders of London's famed Savoy Hotel, and probably the greatest cook of all time: Auguste Escoffier occupied an unchallenged position in the realm of gastronomy. This collection of incomparable recipes--classic soups, sauces, fish and shellfish, meat, poultry, game, sandwiches, salads, vegetables, sweets, jams, and beverages--reflects a lifetime of skill and experience. Among the sublime tastes elegantly presented here: a Chicken Velouté Sauce with Cream; Sole Poached in White Wine, Butter, and Tomatoes; Hot Lobster Mousse; Fillet of Beef with Truffles and Madeira; Potatoes Nana; Chestnut Croquettes; and Meringue with Custard Cream. Introduction by the distinguished founder of the International Wine & Food Society.
