Auguste Escoffier
Auguste Escoffier,King of cooks and cook of kings, is the chef who hasrevolutionized culinary uses of gastronomy. First of all, he imposed therespect in the kitchenandcorrect holding. He createda brigadeas we know it today. He imposed the new hygiene rules. It reduced the number of dishes and was the first to propose theservice to Russian, i.e.service on the plate.
Precursor of dietetics, he limited the richness of the dishes by eliminating the flours from the sauces for example to replace them withbottom and ice. He turned the kitchen into a culinary and scientific art. The kitchen of the large houses today is the one he set up. All the leaders today have theEscoffier culinary guide.
He left us some popular recipes like theCrêpe Suzette, created for thePrince of Waleswhich was accompanied by a certain Suzette. We all know thefishing Melbawhich he created for theCantrix Nelly MELBAof which he had fallen under the charm of hearing his voice. And it's still a voice that's adorned, that of theCantrix Hortense Schneider, duringoperetta "La Belle Hélène" from Offenbachwho inspired her the recipe of thepear Belle Helen !
