Auguste Escoffier's 175th birth anniversary celebration

2021

Year of Gastronomy,

Year of Auguste Escoffier's 175th birthday anniversary,

Year of the Disciples Escoffier!!!

It is with great satisfaction that Nicolas Sale, Michel Escoffier and the Magistral Council send you this testimony of the great success of these Epicure's Dinners, this crazy bet born from a crisis meeting a year ago.

In full confinement during an unprecedented global crisis, this meeting  of the Magistral Council where  the difficult topics of the sanitary crisis were tackled, was when the decision of organizing this world dinner in all our delegations to celebrate and honor Auguste Escoffier was made.

One year of work for hundreds of people, invested every day without counting, to realize this project.

Behind this great cause, even greater: celebrating French Gastronomy, helping the most disadvantaged, valuing professionals, honouring volunteers and young people, celebrating a return to normal life.

Tireless work, a desire of all to meet again. Finding customers, friends, business partners, establishments...

This was the dream of Auguste Escoffier, SHARING, without borders, without distinction of origin or class. Just the love of cooking, the basis of true happiness according to him.

An exceptional patron for this project,  Guillaume Gomez Ambassador of France for Gastronomy, an exclusive work of art by Virginie Broquet to illustrate these menus, a menu created by the heirs of Auguste Escoffier (Nicolas Sale, Michel Roth MOF, Guy Legay MOF and Eddy Benghanem having all officiated at the Ritz Paris), loyal international partners ready to help (Nestlé Professional, Garden Gourmet, Valrhona, Rougié, Comte de Cheurlin), but also the support of all the local partners, the enthusiasm of the Presidents of the Delegations and their members, a large-scale charitable operation, a noble and motivating cause, gastronomes excited to meet around a good table, all the ingredients were brought together to make this moment a success.

Around the 28th of October, for Auguste Escoffier's Anniversary, nearly 7,000 Epicureans in more than 20 countries gathered to toast in his honour and that of Gastronomy in the more than 60 dinners that were organized.

The figures of the donations that were made continue to come to us, with tens of thousands of Euros donated to charitable organizations!

A Newsletter will soon be dedicated to this important point.

What about the dinners that couldn’t be arranged because of health restrictions? They will take place at the beginning of 2022, just for the pleasure of being part of this global movement of sharing, friendship, values and transmission.

We come back to the words of our International President, “Alone we go faster, but together we go further!

In the meantime, our next world meeting is scheduled from April 1st - 3rd 2022 in Nice for the International Congress

Happy reading!
