Le Cuisinier méridional d’après la méthode provençale et languedocienne.

Avignon : Pierre Chaillot jeune, 1835.

Rare édition originale imprimée à Avignon : près de 800 recettes du terroir méridional.



Second ouvrage consacré à la gastronomie provençale après le Cuisinier Durand (Nîmes, 1830, cf. lot 93), ce Cuisinier méridional compile des recettes confiées par « nos gastronomes les plus distingués […]. Leurs nombreuses recettes font de ce livre une macédoine de ce qu’offrent de plus exquis et de plus savoureux les cuisines Provençale et Languedocienne » (Avertissement).

Il comprend en première partie un manuel de dissection qui nous signale que « la personne qui se charge de découper ne doit pas craindre de se lever quand il y a urgence. Pour s’acquitter avec honneur de sa besogne, il faut qu’elle joigne à beaucoup d’aplomb beaucoup de souplesse, de promptitude, et une connaissance parfaite de tous les joints ». Suivent 783 recettes permettant de préparer, cuisiner, accommoder et accompagner toutes sortes de viandes, poissons et gibiers dont les Pieds de mouton en poulettes, les Andouillettes à la languedocienne aux truffes ou les Harengs sorés à la sainte Menehould.
