One of the greatest chefs in all of history was
Antoine Careme (1784 to 1833). “His entire life was
dedicated to ‘la grande cuisine.’ Every moment of his
waking time was spent on improving existing recipes
and methods of preparing food, and on developing
a new generation of French chefs. With respect to
souffles (whether sweet or savory), Careme was
constantly improvising and innovating. Occasionally,
he would flavor a souffle with any wine or liqueur
he thought might improve it. When he decided, one
day, to season a souffle with a clear liqueur in whose
body shimmered innumerable minute flakes of gold
leaf, it seemed only natural to him to dedicate the
recipe to the wealthy Rothschild banking family, in
the kitchen of whose Paris residence he worked for
several years.”
And so was born Souffle Rothschild –“A very rich
dessert.”
One of the ingredients in the recipe, notes the author,
is Danziger Goldwasser, a liqueur that continues to be
made to this day, which contains flakes of gold leaf and
is flavored usually with anise or orange.
We have barely touched upon three of the
background stories here; there are 50 more. Imagine
how interesting you will be at any dinner gathering,
tossing off tidbits of historic food facts after you have
digested Chef Agam’s eight-course, 345-page treat.
Or being able to serve up any of these original classic
recipes at your own party.
*****
Note: The author, Chef Agam, has concocted a
wonderfully tasty recipe for his book, one that as a
reader I greedily devoured. But as an editor I could
not help but notice a number of grammatical errors
in the form of too many commas where they were
not needed. And he refers to a pizza as Margherita
in the chapter heading, then spells the name of the
Italian queen as Margarita. Apparently, Agam could
have used a final editing of his manuscript. But unless
you are the kind of guest who would complain about
one burnt biscuit in an otherwise sumptuous banquet,
don’t let this deprive you of his literary feast.
