Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
SOYER, ALEXIS BENOIT (1809-1858) , French culinary artist, was born at Meaux-en-Brie, France, in October 1809. After five years'
apprenticeship
  as a cook near
Versailles
 , he was engaged by a well-known Paris restaurateur, and soon became
chief
  cook. Leaving France at the revolution of 1830, he went to London and joined his brother in the kitchen of the duke of
Cambridge
 . Subsequently he was cook in several noblemen's kitchens, and in 1837 was made chef to the Reform Club, London. In 1847, having written several letters to the
press
  on the
famine
  in Ireland, he was commissioned by the government to establish kitchens in Dublin. In 1850 he resigned his position at the Reform Club, and the following year opened Gore
House
 , Kensington, as a restaurant, but this venture did not prove a success. In 1855 he offered, through the medium of The Times, to proceed at his own expense to the Crimea and advise on the cooking for the British army there. His services were accepted by the government. On returning from the front he lectured at the United Service Institution on cooking for the services, and reformed the dietary of the military hospitals, and of the emigration commissioners, He
died in London on the 5th of August 1858.
Soyer
  was the inventor of an army cooking wagon, and the author of a variety of cookery books. His wife, Elizabeth Emma
Soyer
 , achieved considerable popularity as a painter, chiefly of portraits.
