Escoffier, King of Chefs
by Owen S Rackleff

The first celebrity chef, Auguste Escoffier is revealed in all his culinary glory in this delightful one-man show."One has to be wary of one-man shows about historical figures: more often they float on the personality of the actor rather than the quality of the memories themselves.

Yet Owen S Rackleff, as a culler of Escoffier anecdotes into dramatic form, distinguishes himself with a rich flow of miscellanea about this legendary French chef of the early part of this century."
