Synopsis
The term garde manger was originally used to identify a storage area for preserved foods such as hams, sausages, and cheeses. Cold foods were prepared and arranged for banquets there as well. Over time, the term garde manger has evolved to mean more than just a storage area or larder. It also indicates the "station" in a professional kitchen responsible for preparing cold foods, the cooks and chefs who prepare these cold foods, as well as an area of specialization in professional culinary arts. Members of todays garde manger share in a long culinary and social tradition, one which stretches back to well before the dawn of recorded history. Whether garde manger is your "entrée" to the culinary field, your lifelong passion, or a new challenge in your professional growth, Garde Manger: The Art and Craft of the Cold Kitchen offers a full view of the foods that are encompassed by todays garde manger.
