Soufflé is Paris's risen, twice-baked technique dish: a hot bechamel, separated eggs, the whites whipped to peaks, folded, baked at 200°C for 12 minutes, served immediately or it falls.
The soufflé was codified by Antonin Carême around 1815 in his Palais-Royal patisserie, where he wrote the first recipe to call for separated eggs and gentle folding. Auguste Escoffier expanded the form in Le Guide Culinaire (1903) into both sweet and savoury versions: Grand Marnier, Suzette, cheese, mushroom. Le Soufflé restaurant in the 1er has cooked nothing but the dish since 1961, with 30 sweet and savoury versions on the carte. Le Grand Véfour has kept its Grand Marnier soufflé on the menu unchanged for six decades. The technique is unforgiving: whites to firm peaks, the folding must keep the air in, the oven door cannot open mid-bake.
