THIS newspaper viii publish a series Of
practical articles upon the art Of cook
ing, by NJ Agusts Escofier. who is by
universal consent the most famous chef in
the world. These articles begin next week
In these articles NJ Escoffier will initiate
the American housewife and the American
public into the most precious secrets OF
French cookery. He will explain not only
how TO prepare the richest dishes that are
placed on the table Of EmperOrs and million
aires, but also the simplest dishes with the
most economical materials. The great value
Of French cookery is that IT teaches US how
to obtain the best results with the least
expenditure OF money.
NJ Escoffier has been frequently spoken Of
az the German Emperors chef. An epigran-
matist has called him "the chef of EN-
perors and the Emperor of chefs" The facts
concerning his services TO the German EN-
peror are these: In 1906 the Emperor paid
a visit to the newly launched monster Of the
Hamburg American Line, the Amerika. This
was a very unusual honor from a retgntng
sovereign. and the directors Of the line. to
show their appreciation, determined to give
his Majesty the finest banquet possible.
with this object they engaged NJ. Escofier
at great expense and he prepared banquet
for the Emperor on the ship. After dinner
the Emperor, who was in an exceptionally
jovial mood, summoned the chef before him
and said:
Monsieur Esconier. that is the finest din
ner I have ever eaten"
The great chef bowed his appreciation of
the compliment The Emperor then asked
him some questions and learned 10 his sur
prise that while serving a very young man
with the French army, N. Escoffier had been
taken prisoner by the Germans.
Monsieur Escoffier" the Emperor then
said, If I had known you were so good =
cook I would never have let you 60"
NJ Escoffier now acts as supervising chef
for the great Ritz-Carlton chain of hotels.
making his headquarters at the Carlton
Hotel in London.
NJ. Escorfier Is the author Of scores Of
dishes now served in the great restaurants
Of the world. One Of them, for instance, il
that exquisite dessert, "peches Melba."
One day In Paris Madame Melba told VI.
Escofier that she was very fond OF peaches
with raspberry Juice, and asked him how he
could combine them. Here is his recipe:
Poach the peaches in vanilla favored
syrup. Dish them in a timbale upon a layer
Of vanilla ice cream and coat them with a
raspberry PURGE

forthcoming series of articles in this news
