Marks for the cook" referring to a paragraph on that page that 'in a good meal the marks awarded to the cook should be so divided - 60% for the preparation and 40% for the choice of the dishes and the buying of the ingredients'. There is true wisdom. b on page 82-83 Elizabeth David has written the letter x at the beginning and end of a passage concerning the origins of creme brulee which had been attributed by Boulestin to M. Hartmann the Swiss Chef of Trinity College Cambridge. Elizabeth David's response on the back of a letter inviting her in 1963 to stay at the Bell Inn Aston Clinton Bucks was "Creme brulee was absolutely not invented by Hartmann. It's been known early in the 18th century probably earlier". c Enclosed in an envelope at the front of the book is a Menu from Boulestin's French Restaurant dated 26.9.36.
