This novel imagines the world of the famous French chef Auguste Escoffier, who changed how we eat through his legendary restaurants at the Savoy (London) and the Ritz (Paris) His wife, Delphine, was a poet who refused to leave her home in Monte Carlo, and he went on to have an affair with one of the most famous women in the world at the time, the actress Sarah Bernhardt. On her deathbed, his wife asked him to create and name a dish after her like he did for Queen Victoria and others. The food descriptions are fantastic, but some readers have complained that the characters weren’t well developed and the book jumps around in time and the timeline is hard to follow.. Food is mentioned on almost every page.
