- AUGUSTE ESCOFFIER PAVILION
Few men in the History of Cooking have had such a Profound Impact on the Profession, both in Terms of the Length and Exemplary Nature of their Careers, and in Terms of the Changes and Innovations they have brought about. While today’s Tastes have evolved, as have Cooking Utensils, Cooking and Preserving Methods and the Structure of Menus, in a World where New Techniques have become established, the Rules of Cooking and the Organisation of Work remain Identical to those created by Auguste Escoffier in his Day.
