Translated from the 1921 Fourth Edition, this revision includes all-new Forewords by Heston Blumenthal, chef-owner of the Michelin three-star-rated Fat Duck restaurant, and Chef Tim Ryan, President of The Culinary Institute of America, along with Escoffier's original Forewords, a memoir of the great chef by his grandson Pierre, and more than 5,000 narrative recipes for all the staples of French cuisine. Includes more than 5,000 recipes in narrative form for everything from sauces, soups, garnishes, and hors d?oeuvres to fish, meats, poultry, and desserts Ideal for professional chefs, culinary students, serious home cooks, food history buffs, and unrepentant foodies The only unabridged English translation of Escoffier's original text, in a sleek, modern design For anyone who is serious about French food, modern cooking, or culinary history, Escoffier's Complete Guide to the Art of Modern Cookery is the ultimate guide and cookbook. Review: My New Best Friend - I was kind of punishing myself when I purchased this--forcing myself to lock down on technique, returning to a strict standard of preparation, getting really SERIOUS about my craft. I knew there were no lovely, delicious-looking pages of prepared food over which to drool. I vowed that I would attempt to make every one of the 5000 recipes, trying to get it right. Well, after reading the forward material and getting to the first stock recipe, I was overcome with the new and thrilling feeling of the whole world of French food preparation being revealed and opened up to me. I read and study the recipes to make one or two for practice, but in my thoughts, this book was not meant to be the definitive way one must cook. It is just a beginning! Escoffier provides us with everything that succeeded in the past and using that as a base of perfection, there is no staunch rule that it must always be as written. I know from the reading of recipe, after recipe that this is not a cookbook, but a user's Manual--as so-named "Le Guide Culinaire." When the Boeuf Bourguignon is bland, we go to the Guide and ask ourselves, 'Is the broth done properly? What about the stock?" I am in love with this book. Not only does it teach me, it talks to me and inspires me. When I get confused (and I admit that I do), I go to the French cooking academy on-line and watch Stephane. I then say, "Ohhhh!" I whole-heartedly recommend this to all people who already enjoy trying to make French food, but wish to excel at making it!

What I enjoy most about this book is that it is a no-frills straight-to-the-point tome about French cuisine. You'll find no glossy pages of photographed food. This is for those who are serious about technique and wanting to expand on their repertoire of French cuisine. In other words, if you require pictorial instructions to make a buerre manier, then Escoffier: Le Guide Culinaire likely is not for you....yet! That said, do not be daunted by the thought of 588 pages of technical recipes as this book is accessible to any willing, self-guided, motivated, and/or self-taught or home cook. ## Frequently Bought Together - Escoffier: The Complete Guide to the Art of Modern Cookery - Institut Paul Bocuse Gastronomique: The definitive step-by-step guide to culinary excellence - Larousse Gastronomique: The World's Greatest Culinary Encyclopedia, Completely Revised and Updated --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/1780657-escoffier-the-complete-guide-to-the-art-of-modern-cookery](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/1780657-escoffier-the-complete-guide-to-the-art-of-modern-cookery) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
