Ritz and Escoffier

Luke Barr explores the advent of the luxe life through the saga of hotelier Cesar Ritz and chef Auguste Escoffier, whose partnership brought us not only the adjective 'ritzy, ' itself no small testament, but also such once-novel phenomena as hotel rooms with their own bathrooms, and innovative dishes like peach Melba. It's a charming tale of success, scandal, and redemption--complete with an unexpected villain.

Luke Barr exploreaza aparitia vietii de lux prin saga hotelierului Cesar Ritz si a bucatarului-sef Auguste Escoffier, al carui parteneriat ne-a adus nu numai adjectivul „ritzy”, in sine un testament mic, ci si fenomene atat de noi, cum ar fi camerele de hotel cu bai proprii si feluri de mancare inovatoare precum Melba de piersici.
