This wonderful book was originally done by Auguste Escoffier. Yes, the man which you see so many ads for Escoffier Cooking or Pastry School. He revolutionized French cooking by bringing it to the printed press.
I had a copy of this book years ago. I have no idea what happened to it. But I have found it once again. There is so much information in this book about cooking, baking, roasting, and everything else you could ever imagine. I highly recommend it. Will I make every recipe in this book? Not likely. I don't eat organ meat. I have my own heart, kidneys, and liver. Thank you, but no thank you. There are so many things I would make in this book though. The soups are fantastic and a lot of those I will make. No, I am not going to make a Consume' from scratch. It's a long process and I don't have the patience or attention span for it. Now, will I make broth or stock from scratch? Absolutely. They are easy. You can put them in the crockpot and go to bed. Wake up the next day and you have your stock or broth done.
The desserts are off the hook. The chocolate mousse that is to die for. OMG! Cakes, pastries, and pies galore. This cookbook has great ideas to help you get out of a rut. I get in them and I have no doubt a lot of us go through that.
If you decide to buy the book go to www.amazon.com and look up The Escoffier Cookbook and Guide to the Fine Art of Cookery: For Connoisseurs, Chefs, Epicures Complete With 2973 Recipes
It cost anywhere from $7.04 to $38.80
