Swiss native August Forster was born into a family of chefs, and apprenticed at an early age. Seeking his fortune in the U.S., he founded a professional cooking school in Chicago in 1938. During his career as a chef, he prepared food for U.S. presidents and European royalty. He trained over 5,000 chefs in his lifetime. This booklet provides 30 lessons (and some extras) in the art of fancy ice carving, and the simple and clear instructions should allow any training chef to master this aspect of creating a fine dining experience.
