About this audiobook

The Hotel St. Francis Cook Book is both a practical manual and a document of early twentieth-century American luxury dining. Organized around menus and recipes for every day of the year, it translates French haute cuisine into the bustling context of a grand San Francisco hotel. Its style is brisk, exacting, and professional, favoring clear procedure over anecdote, yet the abundance of dishes reveals the cosmopolitan tastes, seasonal habits, and ceremonial rhythms of elite hospitality in the Progressive Era. Victor Hirtzler, the celebrated chef of the Hotel St. Francis, brought to the volume a distinctly European culinary formation adapted to the American West. Trained in the classical French tradition and experienced in prestigious kitchens, he presided over one of San Francisco's most famous hotels during a period when the city was asserting itself as a modern cultural capital after the 1906 earthquake. The book reflects his ambition to codify refinement for a wide professional and domestic readership. Recommended for culinary historians, chefs, and readers interested in the social life of food, this book offers far more than recipes. It is a record of taste, labor, aspiration, and institutional grandeur. To read it is to enter the disciplined imagination of a great hotel kitchen at its height. This enriched edition has been carefully crafted to add value to your reading experience. - Hand‐picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance.
