  Le Guide Culinaire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Published in 1903, by Auguste Escoffier, Le Guide Culinaire is a historic book in the history of European haute cuisine.
Still in print is a paperback edition published by Flammarion), the Guide Culinaire, over a century after its original publication, is considered one of the definitive references for French haute cuisine.
Its style is to give recipes as brief descriptions and to assume that the reader either knows or can look up the keywords in the description; as a result, it is often considered an intimidating work for beginning cooks.

The original text was printed for the use of professional chefs and kitchen staff; Escoffier's introduction mentions his intentions that Le Guide Culinaire be used toward the education of the younger generation of cooks.
Le Guide Culinaire is considered the definitive reference for the traditional French cuisine classique.

 Review | The Scavenger’s Guide to Haute Cuisine by Steven Rinsella
Ideally, he should be using a pig's bladder, but when Rinella killed a wild boar in California the previous summer, he accidentally nicked the organ with his skinning knife and now he's in a panic because the antelope bladder is too small for the wild duck.
Rinella writes that he initially found Le Guide Culinaire to be "a pretty weird cookbook." As he read through the century-old pages, he realized Escoffier wasn't advocating a quick trip to the supermarket to pick up the necessary ingredients.
The Scavenger's Guide to Haute Cuisine is as much about Rinella re-discovering his inner hunter as it is a guide to preparing a mouthwatering banquet of wild game.

Nature writer and outdoorsman Steven Rinella takes his vegetarian girlfriend and a cast of eccentric friends on a year-long journey across America, trying to locate the bizarre, often esoteric ingredients of Le Guide Culinaire, such as a wild boar’s bladder and the surprisingly elusive pigeonneaux, otherwise known as the common street pigeon.
His adventures take him fishing for stingrays on a Florida beach; skinning eels with an upstate New Yorker who keeps an emu as company; hunting mountain goats on the snow-covered cliffs of Alaska’s Chugach Range; and flying from Montana to Michigan to retrieve a fifteen-pound snapping turtle that his parents found on the highway.
The Scavenger’s Guide is written in prose that’s as clear and pleasing as a mountain stream and is ultimately an ode to mother nature.

 NPR : 'The Scavenger's Guide to Haute Cuisine'
Inspired by a famous 100-year-old cookbook by the king of haute cuisine, Auguste Escoffier, Rinella decided to cook a three-day, 45-course feast that included wild boar head cheese, skewered elk livers, and a variety of delicacies poached inside of animal bladders.
When Escoffier collected his methods in Le Guide Culinaire, he produced a work that single-handedly revolutionized French haute, or "high," cuisine.
Instead, I saw it immediately as a scavenger's guide, an inventory of all that is bizarre and glorious and tantalizing about procuring your own food and living off the wild.

Escoffier, on the other hand, certainly dispatched plenty of exotic animals in his kitchen, and "Le Guide Culinaire" includes explicit instructions on slaughtering everything from turtles to trout.

The founder of the French school of cuisine, Escoffier created the prix-fixe menu, and his Le Guide Culinaire (1903) remains the standard for aspiring chefs.
In addition, two letters to Escoffier are included near the end of the book that have no obvious purpose, one of them going so far as to suggest that Escoffier's rosy description of the success of the New York Knickerbocker Hotel was not universally shared.
Nonetheless, the book is an interesting read and serves as a light companion to Escoffier's more ponderous Le Guide Culinaire.

 James A. Peterson
At the end of the nineteenth century, when Auguste Escoffier compiled Le Guide Culinaire, he distilled the innovations, recipes and techniques of the classical French kitchen into a single collection, a book that has stood alone for generations.
It would shape both the course and style of French cooking well into the twentieth century, and even today, it is regarded by many, as the ultimate authority on French cookery.
It is, like Escoffier's Guide Culinaire, primarily a tool for the professional chef, a reference book for anyone to check on the technique or ingredients of a given sauce.

Sometimes, just to provide more confusion, a soup in French is called a soupe.
Escoffier, in Le Guide Culinaire (1902), provided a strict classification system so that each different type of soup was defined and its name would always mean the same thing, but his system has not made it into general usage.
They represent a mere sampling of the many French soup recipes available — Escoffier alone presents over 400 soup recipes in Le Guide Culinaire — but they also represent the broad variety of soup types and ingredients found in French cuisine today.
