How a
Poor
，
Abandoned Parisian Boy
Became a Top Chef
A) The
busy streets in Paris were uneven and caked in
thick mud, but there was always a
breathtaking sight to see in the shop
windows of Patisserie de la Rue de la Paix. By
1814,
people crowded outside the
bakery, straining for a glimpse of the latest
sweet food created
by the young chef
who worked inside.
B)
His
name
was
Marie-
Antoine
Carême,
and
he
had
appeared,
one
day,
almost
out
of
nowhere. But in his short
lifetime, which ended exactly 184 years ago today,
he would forever
revolutionize
French
gourmet
food
（美食）
,
write
best-selling
cook
books
and
think
up
magical
dishes for royals and other important people.
C) Carême's childhood was
one part tragedy, equal part mystery. Born the
16th child to poor
parents
i
n Paris in either 1783 or 1784, a
young Carême was suddenly abandoned at the
height of the French Revolution. At 8
years old, he worked as a kitchen boy for a
restaurant
in Paris in exchange for
room and board. By age 15, he had become an
apprentice
（学徒）
to Sylvain
Bailly, a well-known dessert chef with a
successful bakery in one of Paris's most
fashionable neighborhoods.
D) Carême was quick at learning in the
kitchen. Bailly encouraged his young apprentice to
learn to read and write.
Carême
would often spend his free
afternoons at the nearby National
Library reading books on art and
architecture. In the back room of the little
bakery, his interest
in design and his
baking talent combined to work wonders-he shaped
delicious masterpieces
out of flour,
butter and sugar.
E)
In
his
teenage
years,
Carême
fashioned
eatable copies
of
the
late
18th
century's
