In the 19th century, Auguste Escoffier, a legendary French chef, revolutionized French cuisine by codifying its techniques and recipes. His comprehensive guide, Le Guide Culinaire, streamlined the chaotic kitchens of the time, introducing order and hierarchy.

His work has served as a fundamental resource for chefs worldwide, reinforcing the prominence of French culinary techniques and principles.
