VATEL, CAREME, ESCOFFIER: AT THE TABLE OF KINGS

Exceptional destinies

An episode from the series SECRETS OF HISTORY - PORTRAITS

Synopsis

François Vatel, Antonin Carême, and Auguste Escoffier are three great figures in the history of French gastronomy. They served Louis XIV, Fouquet, the Grand Condé, Talleyrand, and Napoleon.

Three men, three eras, three chaotic destinies, three exemplary successes, but one passion: outstanding cuisine and emblematic dishes still served more than 100 years after their creation.
