Auguste Escoffier Auguste Escoffier was born on October 28, 1846, in the village of Villeneuve-Loubet, France. He was the son of Jean-Baptiste Escoffier and his wife Madeleine Civatte. His father was the villages blacksmith, farrier, locksmith, and maker of agricultural tools. Escoffier's childhood dream was to become a sculptor. Unfortunately he was forced to give up that dream at the age of thirteen, just after he celebrated his first Holy Communion Escoffier was told he was going to be a cook. Although he did not want to, Escoffier started work as a kitchen apprentice at his uncle's Restaurant Francais in Nice. Escoffier learned a great deal from his apprenticeship by working hard and determination to succeed. He realized the significant role a good cook could play in society. Escoffier's uncle also taught him how to buy for a restaurant. Escoffier learned all of the responsibilities in a restaurant, even table service. After completing his four year apprenticeship, Escoffier works for two years at various restaurants in Nice, such as Cercle Massena and Les Freres Provencaux. In April of 1865 Escoffier is recommended by M. Bardoux for work at his up-scale Parisian restaurant Le Petit Moulin Rouge in Paris. Here he worked his way up the ranks of the kitchen until the Franco- Prussian war in 1870. When the Franco-Prussian war broke out Escoffier was called into active duty as an army cook in the Rhine Army General Headquarters. He was shipped directly to Metz, where he was in charge of the Second Division's food supply with a fellow chef and his good friend, Bouniol. At Metz Escoffier witnessed the horrors of war and the toll it takes on a man's spirit. Escoffier also had to deal with food shortages and rationing while Metz was under siege, when supplies ran out he had to resort to slaughtering horses for food. After the four month siege at Metz the French Army occupying the city surrendered, all of the soldiers became prisoners of war including Escoffier. Due to the fact that Escoffier was considered an officers orderly he had special rights and privileges. When Metz was evacuated, Escoffier was permitted to travel by train to meet up with his assigned officer in Mainz, only to find out his officer had been obliged to leave Mainz while his orderlies stayed at the prison camp. Life was hard at the camp, they only ... ... middle of paper ... ... the international elite. In his life time Escoffier created approximately 10,000 recipes, some of the most famous were concocted in the kitchen of the Savory Hotel. One might recognize such names as "Filets de sole Coquelin", "Supremes de volaille Jeannette", and the most famous of all "Peche Melba". In 1897 when Ritz creates his own development company and leaves the Savory because of disagreements with the owners, Escoffier and the other managers follow. On June 5, 1898 the Hotel Ritz in Paris opens with Escoffier running the kitchens, that he organized himself. The Hotel Ritz was an immediate success. A year later Ritz and Escoffier returned to London to complete the Carlton Hotel and open it on July 1, 1899. Once again Escoffier runs the kitchens, only this time he stays until 1920. Between 1899 and 1920 Escoffier publishes Le Guide Culinaire and Livre des Menus, organizes the kitchens on ocean liners and opens the Ritz-Carlton in New York. In 1920 Escoffier retired to Monte Carlo, where he lived out the rest of his years, despite a few trips to America. On February 12, 1935 Auguste Escoffier dies at the age of 88, just two weeks after his wife passed away.
