NOW A MAJOR APPLE+ TV SERIES 'Magnificent' ANTHONY BOURDAIN 'Irresistible' HUGH FEARNLEY-WHITTINGSTALL 'A classic' DAMIAN BARR From historian and screenwriter, Ian Kelly, comes the legendary story of Careme, the original celebrity chef. Recounting the fairy-tale-like rise of Antonin Careme from Parisian orphan to a household name synonymous with culinary luxury, Careme offers a unique conflation of historical biography, social history and cookery guide. Kelly lifts the veil on one of the most momentous and sensuous periods in European history: First Empire Paris, Georgian England and the tsarist Russia of War and Peace, depicting Careme's entanglements with the social and political elite of his age, from King George IV to Napoleon, the Romanovs to the Rothschilds. Alongside this story of Careme, the trail-blazing celebrity chef, culinary artist and revolutionary food writer, Ian Kelly brings to life the recipes themselves. As Careme wrote, 'You should try this yourself, at home'.
