1t was Escoffier to whom Marshal
MacMahon paid the high compliment
of reserving him to be his especial
cook, who should cheer the mart.ai
heart when France was in her darkest
days.
1t was Escoffier who. captured by
the Germans during that ill-starred
campaign, was incontinently hailed be-
fore King William of Prussia, after
ward Germany's emperor. But he was
undaunted.

his defiance.
King of the chefs!" rejoined the
admiring monarch. You are my
prisoner. I sentence you to teach my
cooks how to cook"
1t was Escoffier who was chef not
only to Germany's emperor, but the
emperor of France, Napoleon III. 1t
was Escoffier who, later. as the orig
inal genius Of the Moulin Rouge, be-
came chef par excellence to Paris, than
which there is but one higher culinary
honor in the world. And it is Escoffier
who has attained that highest dis
tinction-the post Of managing chef
to a chain of great and fashionable
hotels of Europe. If there is anything
he doesn't know about cooking

chef tells us:
1t is pointless, and even harmful, TO
boil eggs beyond a certain limit. see
ing that any excess in the boiling
only makes them tough, particularly
the whites. because of their albumi-

In order TO boil eggs uniformly they
should be put into a colander having
large holes, thus permitting all the
eggs TO be plunged at the same mo-

STUDIES AMERICAN APPETITE
NJ. Escoffier-M August Escoffier,
most famous chef in the world-caIne
hither a few weeks ago to oversee the
installation of a Ritz-Carlton restau-
rant on the vessels of the Hamburg
American line. and to study the de-
sires of the American appetite on its
native heath.
The American appetite has become a
factor of considerable Importance in
Europe, and the long chain of hotels
over whose cuisine NJ. Escoffier pre-
sides. are to make an unusual en-
deavor to please it.
The famous chef. having completed
his preliminary studies, has gone back
to Europe, convinced that American
hotels have the finest food supply of
any on earth, and Europe must hustle
if it would content these travellers
from the paradise of epicures. He
returns. in the fall. TO observe more
closely and to taste. in all its native
exduisitiveness of SAVIOR. the famous
American turkey.
During his brief stay in this coun-
try VI. Escoffier was vastly impressed
with thu palatable features of the
great New England clam. the tender
Philadelphia SQUAD and the succulent
Maryland fried chicken.
He declared his purpose of import
ing CLANS into France. for. he stated
he found that they lent themselves TO
thirty-seven different combinations
He was delighted with the canVaspack
duck and the diamondback terrapin OF
the Chesapeake. but acknowledged
their high cost put them outside any
calculation of successful introduction
to European palates.

And your nose just runs away
