Published in 1903, Auguste Escoffier's Le Guide Culinaire is a historic book in the history of European haute cuisine. Over a century after its original publication, the Guide Culinaire is still considered the definitive reference for the traditional French cuisine classique. Its style is to give recipes as brief descriptions and to assume that the reader either knows or can look up the keywords in the description; as a result, it is often considered an intimidating work for beginning cooks. The work is still in print in a paperback edition published by Flammarion Publishing.
