: Are there any other Chefs out there that enjoy collecting these types of things? I am actively looking for any material pertaining to 18th century to 20th century French cookery. I am interested in Chefs such as Careme Soyer, Gouffe, Dubois, Escoffier, Ali-bab, F. Point, Diat, G. Blanc, R. Blanc, Joel Robuchon, etc. I am particularily looking for menus or manuscripts of Escoffier. I already own a number of books and am completely addicted to books.

Dear Francois.,
I am not a chef but major supplier to the trade. I am interested
in collecting recipes and menu's - I am looking for the last menu
used on the last voyage of the TITANIC which if not mistaken was
the creation of Escoffier.
Also looking at the future I wish to get some idea what the top
chefs are thinking of the NEW Years EVE DINNER for the year 2000
Perhaps you can help.
Thanks and regards
John
