Auguste EscO6ier, 85-yeGT-c1d dean
emeritus Of chefs, declares that the real
superiority of good cook lies NOT so
much IN the cOncOctiOR Of expensive
and fancy dishes as in the attractive
preparation of nOurishing and inex.
pensiUe foods for everyday menus.

pastas of Italy, zestful zakouskas and bortschs
Of Russia and the varied and colorful dishes
to be found on the Scandinavian Smorgasbord.
Nor would he minimize the culinary achieve
ments of the Orient-chow- mems and chop
sueys of China, suki- yakis Of Japan and those
peppery curried dishes. chutneys and mangoes
of India, where the science Of cookery had its
beginning. In the cookery Of q nation he finds
an index to the character Of its people, for it
is as much part of the history and traditions
of land as are its laws and language, he
declares.
American cookery is really of the old French
school, according to Escofier, who says that he
likes it when it Is done by woman, but not
usually when it is done by man. He par
ticularly likes American coffee and admits
little sentiment In the matter Of this beverage.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-12-28

new dishes and new combinations 70 add to his
already envisble list. Here, too. IN this lovely
garden spot not many miles from his birthplace
in Southern France, where he learned from his
mother the fundamentals Of cookery he finds
time for q little writing on the subject Of foods
and for the revision of his cook book, which he
hopes to have translated for American house
wives.
Despite the years during which he has not
only prepared countless delectable dishes, but
also improved devices for table service and
invented nnumerable table decorations-h was
he who originated wax flowers for the dining
table-this dean Of chefs Is as interested IN
foods today he was when he invented his
famous dessert for Madame Melba, his quail
Richelieu, his supreme Of chicken Jeanette,
which started the internationally popular move
ment for the cold plate, his flet Of sole
waleska, served for the first time back in the
eighties at great luncheon given at the Grand
Hotel In Monte Carlo where Escof1er was then
chef.
today, according to this master, is due
largely to the fact that in France food products
are found in such great variety. With such an
abundance of fresh vegetables and dairy prod
ucts unsurpassed, it would be q poor COM
mentary on a country. he says. that could not
prepare tasty and nourishing dishes:
Another point he would not overlook is the
fact that years ago daughters in French homes
all learned to cook and the art has continued
to be handed down from generation to genera
ten.
Woman was born to cook" declared Escofher.
cit is her job" And in defense of this home
making virtue the master chef Is as emphatic
in the declaration Of its Importance as was
John Ruskin, with whom he agrees also that
cookery means much testing and wasting"
Man is simply an industrial cook" continued
Escofher. land his place, such, Is in big
organizations where the work Is too heavy for
women"
That the French woman loves to cook he
attributes to the fact that she has always been
q home-loving woman.
she enjoys having her family eat WELL"
said Escofher, land is, therefore, always inter-
ested in the preparation Of her dishes-soups,
salads, sauces or whatever they may be. She
understands the art of bringing out the natural
havors in foods. thing Of vital importance in
cookery. For these reasons, even in the hum
blest peasant home the family enjoys nourishing
and palatable meals"
The real superiority Of good cook according
to Escofhier. lies not so much in the preparation
Of expensive or fancy dishes as in the attractive
dishes for every day and in the skillful COM
bination of flavors. Truly this chieftain of the
skillet and grill is a master of flavor, which
has well been characterized as the ."soul Of
food"
1T is to BE regretted" said Escofaer that
in a land With the splendors Of new and mag
nifcent roof gardens, casinos and other such
delightful dining places as one finds in America
there seems so little time to dine-not only for
enjoying the foods IN themselves, but for ap-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-12-28

preciating the menu In its social significance"
The French, he points out, are willing not
only 10 take the time TO prepare q dish scien-
tincally. but also to eat it hygienicaIly, with
lingering enjoyment Of its appetizing havOrs.
They appreciate epicurean subtleties. For these
reasons French became the language Of the
culinary world.
Although proud of the heritage that Is his
In the traditions and art Of French cookery,
Esconher Is not one TO decry the cookery OF
sther lands-the simple, substantial funda-
mentals Of English kitchens with their roast
