Review: So happy to have bought this - Thank you for making this available on desertcart Review: Worth it - Takes a while to get used to the format and style of writing, but it is worth it. At first glance it comes across as quite outdated. It didn’t look like something one can pull off at home. But now I realise it gives you a thorough grounding of what good looks like, and a lot of it is actually quite doable at home. Eg The cantaloup with Marsala wine/ port wine is not only easily doable at home, but the presentation tips change the tone and bring about the difference between a meal and an experience to remember. Remember that the book is from an era when everything was either extremely fresh, or it was tinned/ preserved. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #275,194 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,131 in Food, Drink & Entertaining (Books) #2,465 in Encyclopaedias & Reference Works (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 741 Reviews | ## Images ![The Escoffier Cookbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pGG3jVOaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So happy to have bought this *by H***T on 6 November 2025* Thank you for making this available on Amazon ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it *by R***R on 26 November 2019* Takes a while to get used to the format and style of writing, but it is worth it.
