Escoffier: The King of Chefs Hardcover – Illustrated, 1 November 2002

This is the most inspiring biography i have ever read. Chefs of the past two generations know not the hardships of Escoffier. We worry about servers, owners, long hours... Escoffier deals with things like hotel fires (and still does the dinner), feeding armies with dead horses, and still managed to revolutionized not only food but the way we dine a la carte. Wow.

lovely product for my chef husband

I really am enjoying "Escoffier; The King of Chefs" I like the way the book is broken up into his life story and educational points it makes the book more interesting an valuable as a culinary student I highly recommend it.

Very, very interesting. A bit dry but a good read nonetheless.

Thanks.
