Tracing the fairytale-like rise of Antonin Carême from Parisian orphan to a household name synonymous with culinary luxury, Carême offers a below-stairs perspective on one of the most momentous, and sensuous, periods in European history: First Empire Paris, Georgian England, and the Russia of War and Peace. Carãeme's ability to intuit the tastes of European royalty was an unendingly useful and astounding tool: he knew the favorite dishes of King George IV, the Rothschilds, and the Romanovs; he knew Napoleon's fast-food requirements and why Empress Josephine suffered halitosis. Blending the incredible story of Carême's rise to stardom with the recipes he curated, author Ian Kelly seats us at the dining tables of monarchs and aristocrats and leads us into the sumptuous world of casseroles and kings.\"--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNOW A MAJOR APPLE TV+ SERIES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIn a cook's tour of Regency-Era Europe, \u003ci\u003eCarême\u003c\/i\u003e combines recipes fit for royalty with the \"magnificent\" (Anthony Bourdain) life story of Antonin Carême, the first celebrity chef.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTracing the fairytale-like rise of Antonin Carême from Parisian orphan to a household name synonymous with culinary luxury, \n\u003ci\u003eCarême \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a below-stairs perspective on one of the most momentous, and sensuous, periods in European history: First Empire Paris, Georgian England, and the Russia of \n\u003ci\u003eWar and Peace\u003c\/i\u003e. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCarême's ability to intuit the tastes of European royalty was an unendingly useful and astounding tool: he knew the favorite dishes of King George IV, the Rothschilds, and the Romanovs; he knew Napoleon's fast-food requirements and why Empress Josephine suffered halitosis. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlending the incredible story of Carême's rise to stardom with the recipes he curated, author Ian Kelly seats us at the dining tables of monarchs and aristocrats and leads us into the sumptuous world of casseroles and kings. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eKelly, Ian\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIan Kelly\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e i\u003c\/b\u003es a multi-award-winning writer and actor whose work spans stage (West End and Broadway), screen, historical biography and ballet.
