Careme is someone every cook should read at least 
some of; he is pretty much the first real modern 
chef to leave extensive written material (some 
would say this is actually La Varenne, and he's 
important, but Careme marks the beginning of the 
great restaurant chefs, rather than the great 
household chefs; while he himself is known as a 
household chef, he began what later became known 
as the brigade system refined by Escoffier and 
applied as an industrial standard).

His recipes are long and complex, but read like 
symphonies, and I will carry his heart-rending 
cry to Heaven for the cooks around him that are 
slowly dying of what appears to be carbon 
monoxide poisoning [from coal-fired stoves], with 
me, to my own grave.
