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.

      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.
