Product Overview
Here, for the first time, is presented to the English-speaking public the entire translation of Auguste Escoffier's masterpiece 'Le Guide Culinaire' Its basic principles are still valid today.
'Le Guide Culinaire' is described by Escoffier himself as 'a useful tool rather than just a recipe book.' It does not go into minute details of preparation, but offers to those who cook invaluable guidelines culled from more than 50 years of experience.
A memoir of Escoffier by his grandson, Pierre P. Escoffier, appears at the beginning of the book.
