In one inspired lifetime, August Escoffier changed the course of culinary history, extended the fame of French cuisine throughout the world, and touched the lives of both rich and poor with his warmth and artistry.

His great love of food and culinary art creates a sensory feast for serious gourmands and professionals. Dishes, presentations, and original recipes are intimately described.

In addition to his memoirs, this book contains historical highlights throughout the text, photographs illustrating Escoffier's world and original menus and recipes, a glossary of French culinary terms, and a concurrent timeline of Escoffier's career and world and American historical events.
