Escoffier: King of Chefs

“One has to be wary of one-man shows about historical figures: more often they float on the personality of the actor rather than the quality of the memories themselves. Yet Owen S Rackleff, as a culler of Escoffier anecdotes into dramatic form, distinguishes himself with a rich flow of miscellanea about this legendary French chef of the early part of this century.”
