Origin
Escoffier's stock system in Le Guide Culinaire established the classification that all subsequent French culinary education has followed. His specific ratios, his prohibition against boiling, and his requirement for skimming throughout the cook are codified instructions that remain correct and relevant — modern food science has confirmed what Escoffier intuited empirically.
