Le Répertoire de la Cuisine
says
This pocket-sized handbook, which dates back to 1914, is packed with 6,000 classical French recipes for hors-d’oeuvres, soups, eggs, fish, salads, entrees, pastas, vegetables and pastries. Intended solely for professional chefs, it skips providing quantities and measurements altogether, focusing primarily on the ingredients instead.
from the publisher
First published in 1914, Le Repertoire de La Cuisine is an international culinary treasure written by Escoffier's very own student, Louis Saulnier.…You won't find big glossy photos; meticulous lists of ingredients and instructions; or details about measurements, temperature and the like here. The Repertoire is a handy, highly portable, quick reference for those who are already well versed in the classic techniques.

This was my first professional cookbook back in 1985. It's a great reference guide to classical French cookery of the Escoffier era.

This is the industry standard in Britain every young cook is given this. It is almost biblical yet mind-blowingly boring.
