French Cuisine Standard
(By Associated Press)
FARIS, Jan. 26.—M. Louis Forest,
founder of the famous Club des Cent
—the Hundred Club—whose object
is to keep alive the best traditions
of the French cuisine, entertained the
members of the American C*ub of
Paris recently with a talk on “The
Intellectual Value of the French Cui
sine.” The speaker likened the art
ol the cuisine to music, declaring
that it took as long to form a good
cook as it did to make a good mu
sician, and pointing out that in more
senses than one real art was a Ques
tion of exquisite taste. The finer
appreciation of the good things that
grace the table, he declared, was an
essential training to the finer appre
ciation of all other arts.
If France could putly be proud of
her reputation for cooking, M. For
est was not without some fear for
the future, declaring that more has
ty living and more hasty meals led to
less discernment in cooking.
French cuisine, said the speaker,
was made what it is, nit in the pal
ace and the home of the rich, but
in the farms of the wealthy land
owners of the provinces, where ev
ery dish as it came on the table
was the subject of discussion and the
wine a matter for conjecture, com
parison and reminiscence.
