Today’s episode is a little different. There's no guest, instead, I will be presenting the second of a new series of episodes to come which I bring the life story of a chef or person that has influenced our lives through a mutual love of French cuisine. This story is about a man from humble beginnings who became the founder of haute cuisine Antoine Carême.
Marie-Antoine Carême is a French pastry chefs who was often known like Auguste Escoffier as the king of chefs and the chef of kings. He’s possibly the first person to gain the title of chef not cook and was one of the founders of haute cuisine. His grandiose style was sought after by both the royal courts and the nouveau riche of Paris. Antonin Carême is said to be the first celebrity chef. This is his story.
You can get copies of Carême's books below.
