Le Répertoire de La Cuisine
by Louis Saulnier
The original, squashed down to read in about 30 minutes


Auguste Escoffier and the distinctive yellow cover of the English edition


(Paris, 1914)



The magnificent French haute cuisine we know now was substantially created and codified in the 19th Century by Antoine Carême and Auguste Escoffier. It was Escoffier's student Louis Saulnier who prepared this list of quick definitions of their dishes in the book known to cooks the world over as 'Le Répertoire'.

Abridged: GH. This version imitates the distinctive layout of the original and gives a mere 300 or so of the most famous of Saulnier's 7000 short definitions, but, short though they are, most are complete exactly as written.
