Auguste Escoffier

    28 de octubre de 1846 – 12 de febrero de 1935

    Georges Auguste Escoffier fue un chef y autor francés que modernizó los métodos culinarios tradicionales de su país. Simplificó y perfeccionó las elaboradas técnicas de Antoine Carême, convirtiéndose en una figura legendaria para chefs y gourmets. Más allá de sus recetas, Escoffier elevó la profesión culinaria mediante una disciplina organizada en sus cocinas. Su obra fundamental, Le Guide Culinaire, sigue siendo una referencia esencial, y sus técnicas e ideas continúan influyendo en la gastronomía mundial.
