DUBOIS, Urbain (1818-1901).

Cuisine de tous les pays. Études cosmopolites. Paris : Dentu, 1868.

Édition originale. Fameux traité de cuisine européenne richement illustré.



Il offre des centaines de recettes allemandes, anglaises, françaises, russes, italiennes ou polonaises, rassemblées par Urbain Dubois au cours de ses années de service dans les cuisines des plus grandes cours européennes : "Si la langue universelle est encore un grand rêve, on n'en saurait dire autant de la cuisine universelle". Celui qui fut cuisinier chez le Kaiser, le Tsar, les Rothschild et le comte Uruski consigne les recettes glanées aux quatre coins de l'Europe, du "plompouding au bain-marie" au "bischop du Prince Albert", en passant par le "turban de filets de soles à la parisienne" ou encore le "kebap à la persane". Il détaille également soixante "menus authentiques", livrant un précieux témoignage sur les repas des grandes tables d'Europe dans les années 1860. Vicaire, 290 ; Bitting, 131.



In-8 (237 x 150 mm). Cachet de l'auteur au verso du faux-titre et au dos du frontispice. Illustré d'un frontispice gravé par Werner, d'une double-planche hors-texte représentant un grand buisson à la marinière, des chapons de Lully et un saumon de Vatel, et de 220 figures gravées dans le texte (quelques piqûres et taches éparses). Reliure de l’époque : demi-chagrin vert, dos à nerfs titré or, tranches mouchetées.
