"This is a spectacular book of cooking in the great French tradition. It is an exclusive collection of unique recipes, each a culinary masterpiece ... the specialites de la maison from chefs in restaurants where ... known to be consummately skilled individual artists. From L'Escargot, Chez Francoise, and Tour d'Argent ... from fashionable Maxim's to some humble bistro near a great marketplace ... from sixty of the best restaurants and finest chefs in the world ... here are two hundred recipes that have made their creators famous." James Beard (1903-1985) was an American cookbook author, syndicated columnist, teacher, and television personality. Designated the "dean of American cookery" by the New York Times, Beard laid the foundations for generations of amateur and professional food enthusiasts. After publishing his first cookbook in 1940, Beard went on to host the NBC cooking show I Love to Eat. In 1955 he founded the James Beard Cooking School, where he taught for many years. Over the course of his career, Beard wrote countless cookbooks, including several seminal works, and he inspired and influenced chefs throughout the world. .
