Georges Auguste Escoffier

(October 28, 1846 - February 12, 1935)

Escoffier was called "the emperor of chefs" and “emperor of the world’s kitchens” by Emperor William II of Germany.  He modernized and codified the elaborate haute cuisine created by Marie-Antoine Carκme, and developed the ‘brigade de cuisine,’ system of kitchen organization.

Escoffier was chef at the Carlton Hotel in London, the Grande National Hotel in Lucerne, Switzerland, the Grand Hotel in Monte Carlo, the Savoy in London and the Ritz hotels in Paris and New York City. His books include 'Guide culinaire' and 'Ma Cuisine.'
