There's a good chance you've heard of Auguste Escoffier. This French chef is known as "the king of chefs and the chef of kings". His name is synonymous with classic French cuisine.
Escoffier radically simplified dining culture by advocating for the use of seasonal ingredients and the omission of elaborate garnishes. Escoffier died in 1935, but his name remains an integral part of the culinary landscape. This simple but delicious dish is one example that shows why this chef's dishes are so beloved. A rich, French sauce starring sweet paprika powder. This dish is based on chicken, but you can of course also make the sauce separately and serve it with fish or vegetables.
