He was one of 25 (?) children born to an impoverished family who put him out on the street at the age of about 10 to make his own way in the world.  Lucky for the world he knocked on the door of a restaurant for a job. He might have knocked on the door of a blacksmith!
 By the age of 21 he was chef de cuisine to Talleyrand. He also served as head chef to the future George IV of England, Emperor Alexander I of Russia, and Baron James de Rothschild.  He wrote several large books on cookery, with hundreds of recipes and menus, a history of French cooking, instructions for organizing kitchens, and directions for elaborate architectural constructions of food for display (pièces montées).
