Ritz and Escoffier: The Hotelier, The Chef, and the… por Luke Barr

Вас позвали запустить первый элитный отель в одном из главных городов мира. Вы блестяще справились, но возникла деликатная проблема: в такое место, как мотыльки на свет, слетелись дамы полусвета. Респектабельная публика может отшатнуться. Как избавиться от нежелательных клиенток? У Сезара Рица, человека, чьей фамилией назовут отели, а именем — салат, был лайфхак и на этот счет: дресс-код. В истории HORECA тандем Риц — Эскофье по своему влиянию сравним с дуэтом Леннон — Маккартни в музыке. Отельер и ресторатор-кулинар тонко уловили потребности обладателей новых состояний рубежа XIX–XX веков, но не упустили и аристократов, которые все еще задавали тон.

I really enjoyed this book. I cannot cook, but appreciate the time and effort that is put forth in to cooking and I enjoyed reading about the personalities who have shaped our tastes and cooking skills. Highly recommend, even for the non-foodie.

nonfiction; cooking memoirs (written by MFK Fisher's grand-nephew, or something like that). I might enjoy this more as an audio-book; the written text is not that absorbing and I didn't find myself lost in 1970s Provence as I hoped I would be.
