His legacy, still in practice
A salutation to Escoffier's repertoire, sharpened by what's in season now.
The brigade system
Where each cook owns one station: one part of a dish, never the whole plate.
The five mother sauces
Béchamel, velouté, espagnole, hollandaise, and tomate — the foundations from which every other sauce still descends.
Mise en place
So everything is prepared and in position, leaving nothing to chance.
