White truffles in winter

A reimagining of the world of the remarkable French chef Auguste Escoffier. A man of contradictions, food-obsessed yet rarely hungry, Escoffier was also torn between two women: the famous, beautiful, and reckless actress Sarah Bernhardt and his wife, the independent and sublime poet Delphine Daffis, who refused ever to leave Monte Carlo. A novel of the sensuality of food and love amid a world on the verge of war.

  • "Ten, kto nie ma dobrego podejścia do kobiet, nie zostanie nigdy wielkim szefem kuchni. Kiedy Delphine pierwszy raz odwiedziła Escoffiera w jego kuchni, zrozumiała, co mają na myśli ludzie, którzy mówią, że jest prawdziwym artystą. Specjalnie dla niej oprószył jajka posiekanym masłem, dodał śmietanę, umieścił krem w kieszonkach z brioszek i położył je na porcelanowych talerzach. Jeden kęs. Jeden pocałunek. Przepadła. Tak jak zresztą i inne kobiety, które Escoffier uwodził jedzeniem. Białe trufle to zmysłowa opowieść o najznakomitszym kucharzu Francji, który gotował dla Ritza i w londyńskim Savoyu, przyjmował na swych kolacjach koronowane głowy i całą artystyczną śmietankę Paryża. To historia wielkich miłości i namiętności skąpanych w smakach i zapachach, której lekturę można porównać do delektowania się wykwintnym jedzeniem."
  • "French chef August Escoffier changed the way we eat, but was a man of contradictions: kind, yet imperious; food-obsessed yet rarely hungry. He was also torn between two women: the famous and reckless actress Sarah Berhnardt and hiw wife, the independent and sublime poet Delphine Daffis who refused to ever leave Monte Carlo. In the last year of Escoffier's life, he has returned to Delphine, who requests a dish in her name as he has honored Bernhardt, Queen Victoria, and others. How does one define the complexity of love on a single plate?"
