French cooking is that which can be condoned in reference to any book written by Escoffier. That's all it is, nothing else.

If you stray too far from one of his seminal texts than it isn't classical French cuisine.

There is nothing else to it.

I find Escoffier hilariously pompous and impractical. I don't have the three days it would take for me to properly make one of his recipes. I don't have the moral fortitude to correctly make sttock his way.
