French Food

King of Chefs

The tradition that French cuisine is special can be traced through the written tradition to the work of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), famous for his quotation 'Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.' and the first celebrity chef, Marie Antoine Carême (1784-1833), known as 'The King of Chefs, and the Chef of Kings'.
