options at our fingertips today can be good for 27 and productivity—and at the same time very troublesome. With

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 in 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.
