Topic: Haute cuisine


In the News (Sat 11 Oct 08)

  
  Haute cuisine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haute cuisine (literally "high cooking" in French) is a cookery style that originated in Napoleonic France under the influence of the chef Antoine Carême and was elaborated by Auguste Escoffier.
Haute cuisine is still at the heart of much French and modern European restaurant cookery, which has evolved and diversified, largely under the influence of international cooking styles and changing dietary preferences.
Compared to nouvelle cuisine, which was developed in France in the 1970s in part as an alternative to haute cuisine, haute cuisine placed less emphasis on exotic and seasonal ingredients, less emphasis on presentation and visual appeal, less use of herbs and spices, and a much greater reliance on sauces and traditional dishes.

 Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Haute cuisine
Compared to the nouvelle cuisine that was based on the style of Fernand Point and which developed in France in the 1970s, there was less emphasis on exotic and seasonal ingredients, less emphasis on presentation and visual appeal, fewer herbs and spices are used, and there is greater reliance on sauces and traditional dishes.
The Nouvelle cuisine has now largely been abandoned in France, and Europe, and the trend in high establishments is back towards the highest quality of ingredients, fusion, presentation, food combinations and extreme attention to detail.
The restaurants that have gained 3 Michelin stars, which can be found in many countries of the world, including France, Spain and the UK are deemed to be the highest cuisine.

 Nouvelle Cuisine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nouvelle Cuisine (French for "new cuisine") is an approach to cooking and food presentation based on the style of Fernand Point.
It was initially developed in France and the USA in the 1970s but has come under heavy criticism since its inception and is no longer considered very fashionable.
The reliance on the waiting staff to present the food, as is the norm in haute cuisine, was abandoned.

 eG Forums -> What makes something haute cuisine?
In Savoie and the French Alps, you have haute cuisine; in the Italian Alps, it's alta cucina.
One that always says that because the definition of what haute cuisine is has to be evaluated on a case by case basis, that the definition of haute cuisine is relative to what people agree is the definition.
Using this example, one would think that haute cuisine comes down to "the most luxurious way to serve a dish including artistic preparation." Undoubtedy that usually means the smoothest and the silkiest and the creamiest.

 eG Forums -> Indian Cuisine as Haute Cuisine
I have been eating a fair amount of Indian food lately and have noticed that the cuisine in my neck of the woods is all served in the same style.
Haute indian sounds a bit funny to me, but whatever one might call it,perfectly executed food is indeed of a "higher"place.
After all, even if every little detail is "haute" and "fancy" and "chic" and the food still is no where near tasty, the meal leaves much to be desired.

 Make It New By Sara Dickerman
And with his fame, Adrià has played a big role in leading haute cuisine down the same path other art forms have taken in the past century—to the sometimes-messy convergence of high and low culture; in this case, a blending of haute and mass-market cuisines.
Adrià is often grouped with other inquisitive chefs who have embraced food technology, including Heston Blumenthal and Pierre Gagnaire; their style of cooking has sometimes been called "molecular gastronomy." Like Adrià, these chefs are devoted to a semiscientific research into new taste combinations, techniques, and presentation.
To make his cuisine more gripping, Adrià also uses elements other than flavor: transparency, extreme textures, and surprising temperature combinations (a cocktail that is half-frozen and half-hot).

The current Zagat ranks Maxwell's 148 in Natick, which specializes in ''Mediterasian" cuisine, alongside Barbara Lynch's exclusive Beacon Hill eatery No. 9 Park in the Top 40 rankings for ''outstanding service." The prestigious listing was a thrill but not a fluke, said co-owner Randy Nason.

Still, with all the nouvelle cuisine cachet attached to his cuisine, Loiseau was still based firmly on classic French technique.
Rudolph Chelminski's tale of French haute cuisine chef Bernard Loiseau and his tragically flawed quest and attainment of Michelin's elusive third star reads, to paraphrase a pithy comment made by one of Chelmeski's sources, like "The Flight of Icarus." Loiseau flew a little too close to the sun and his wings melted.
Chelminski places his portrait within the context of the Michelin-conditioned world of haute cuisine, populated by food fashionistas and the chefs who cater to them.

 Prepared Foods: From haute cuisine to high profits: chefs of the venerable American Culinary Federation create ...
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the great French chef Georges Auguste Escoffier developed what we now define as "haute cuisine." A number of culinary and food historians insist that Marie Antoine Careme created haute cuisine in the late 1700s to early 1800s.
However, others argue that a close examination of actual recipes and techniques used by Careme clearly indicate they are very different from the style and techniques now recognized as the foundation of haute cuisine.
Perhaps the "father of haute cuisine" also could be considered to be the world's first research chef.

His mission: to determine whether the city with the highest concentration of three-star chefs in the world is at long last ready for Chinese haute cuisine.
At its most refined, Chinese cuisine is every bit as elaborate and complex and it French counterpart — and just as expensive to produce, at least outside of China.
Some three-star restaurants in Paris are virtually insolvent due to elevated costs, and it is an open question as to whether French diners are ready to pay upwards of 100 euros a head for Chinese food, no matter how sublime.

 Gastroville: French Haute Cuisine: Dead or Alive?, Reflections from L'Ambroisie and Le Cinq
Worse still, the cuisine suffers when, in an effort to please everybody, top French chefs sail against the winds and compose very large menus with 15 appetizers, 20 fish, 30 meat dishes and so on.
There is an inner drive for perfectionism and perhaps reputational concerns which still enable some French chefs to create a cuisine at a level that, how to put it, is at a level which makes the discriminating diners feel blessed and ensures that they comprehend that cuisine can have a transcendental dimension.
When all these factors converge, and when cooking is so good, you start realizing that the grand old Haute Cuisine only reaches this level in France, and this will probably continue to be the case in the foreseeable future.

 The Perfectionist: Life And Death In Haute Cuisine | The A.V. Club
In a country where three-star chefs are as recognized and exalted as the President, even the best have trouble keeping up with the fashionable changes in taste, and the fall from grace can be precipitous.
After Loiseau finally got a restaurant of his own in 1975, the year he took over stewardship at La Cote D'Or, that philosophy developed into what he called "cuisine des essences," a minimalist style that was fundamentally classical, but emphasized simplicity, with only three or four distinct flavors on the plate and no heavy sauces.
Though Chelminski's prose could also stand to cut back on the heavy sauce, he thoroughly understands the traditions and pressure of haute cuisine, and his personal encounters with Loiseau help draw out an utterly credible psychological profile.

 Foie gras flap spreads -- bill would ban duck dish / But haute cuisine restaurateurs say proposal goes too far   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
State Senate President Pro Tem John Burton, D-San Francisco, is expected to introduce a bill this week that would virtually prohibit foie gras by essentially putting the Western United States' sole producer out of business while denying chefs ready access to the hyper-fattened duck liver.
The idea is being viewed with alarm by high-end restaurants in California and across the nation that serve foie gras, a dish enjoyed by many who fancy haute cuisine.
Burton's bill seeks to block the sale of foie gras produced by the controversial "speed-feeding" method in which grain is streamed through a pipe inserted down the throat of a duck or goose for weeks at a time toward the end of their lives.
