FOURNIER, J.B. & Louis-Sébastien LE NORMAND (1757-1837).

Essai sur la préparation, la conservation, la desinfection des substances alimentaires et sur la construction des fourneaux économiques. Paris : chez l'auteur, Delaunay, Redon, Guilleminet, 1818.

Édition originale : fameux traité de cuisine économique, contenant la première recette de la bouillabaisse.



Cette importante monographie sur la cuisine de ménage est destinée à améliorer l'alimentation des classes populaires. L'auteur, architecte et pyrotechnicien toulonnais, entend rassembler "des moyens économiques qu'on peut aisément mettre en usage pour se procurer une nourriture saine, appétissante et substantielle". La première partie livre des recettes de "soupes économiques", la deuxième de la construction de fourneaux. C'est dans cet ouvrage qu'apparaît pour la première fois la recette de la bouillabaisse, alors appelée "bouille-baisse" (p. 410) : "Il n'est pas rare, à Marseille ou à Toulon, de voir une famille de sept à huit personnes prendre un bon repas moyennant une modique dépense de deux centimes et demi (...) par tête". Oberlé, Fastes, 191 ; Bitting, 164.



In-8 (195 x 120 mm). Illustré de 3 planches dépliantes gravées par Moisy d'après les dessins de Fournier (taches et piqûres éparses, légère mouillure au coin inférieur affectant les derniers cahiers). Reliure de l'époque : cartonnage raciné, dos lisse orné de filets dorés, pièce de titre noire, tête noire, tranches jaunes mouchetées de bleu.



Rare first edition of this treatise on economic dishes, comprising the first mention of Marseille's famous fish stew "la bouillabaisse".
