Hi all,
Been reading through my Escoffier and La Repertoire (yeah, just light
weekend cook's reading stuff :) and trying to figure out the definition of
a term I find there. I can't seem to pin it down using either of those
book's glossaries, or many on-line sites I've checked.
The term is Relevés. It is used in this context:
"Relevés and Entrées of Meats" (Escoffier)
and
"Entrées, Relevés, Rotis; Relevés and Entrées of Butchers' Meats" (La Rep)
My French/English Dictionary defines the word thusly:
relève - relief; change (of the guard)
rele-vé-vée adj - lofty, elevated; turned up; graded (curve); spicy; m.
check list; tuck (in dress); (culin) next course; faire le relevé de - to
survey; to check off
So, I am confused here. Anyone have an opinion of what this might be?
Could this be an example of an actual Remove?!!??
Thank you, food geeks everywhere.
:)
