A Taste of Fontaine

HoYoverse revealed Escoffier through official channels and HoYoLAB, confirming her as a key figure from Fontaine. She was dubbed as the “Lead Goose of Precision Gastronomy.” Her chef’s life revolves around and her recent splash art also showcased her wielding a ladle and a knife crafted from icy elegance.

Escoffier, who was previously the Head Chef at Hotel Debord, gained a reputation as a “culinary weathervane” in The Steambird’s Gourmet Column. Nonetheless, her narrative suggests a complex character, defined by disagreements with colleagues and apprentices, making her an intriguing addition to the roster.

This is what an official Genshin Impact social media post has to say about her: “For a long time, The Steambird’s Gourmet Column has been known by food afficionados as a culinary weathervane.

As a regular feature on this column, Escoffier, the ex-Head Chef of Hotel Debord, and her “precision gastronomy” are all the more famed in Fontaine. In the process of “analyzing,” “extracting,” and “harmonizing,” she has not only deconstructed Fontainian views on “flavor” but even their foundational cognition of “tastiness.”

Thusly disassembled and reconstructed, the secret code constituting the sense of taste has been redefined in delicacy upon the very tips of their tongues.”
