Traité historique et pratique de la cuisine, ou Le Cuisinier instruit... Paris : Cl. J. B. Bauche, 1758.

Édition originale.

Ce texte anonyme est attribué à Menon. Tout en indiquant “ne pas avoir suivi les livres des derniers écrivains sur la cuisine, qui en parlant de chaque aliment, indiquent et décident de ceux qui sont bons ou mauvais pour la santé ; cela n’est bon qu’à intimider des malades imaginaires, dont le nombre n’est déjà que trop grand”.

Le style est simple et clair, et s’adresse aux cuisiniers “novices”, plutôt qu’à "ces grands officiers qui ont l’honneur de servir les tables des princes”. L’auteur en profite d’ailleurs pour demander à ses lecteurs de lui pardonner “les fautes de François que je puis avoir fait, […] étant sans étude et sans connoissance de Belles-Lettres".

L’ouvrage est divisé en 10 chapitres, abordant tour à tour les tables et le service, les viandes (découpe, jus, ragoûts, sauces, farces), confitures, desserts, poissons (dont certains représentés par des gravures sur bois), pâtisseries, œufs et légumes. Bonnet. “Les manuels de cuisine”, in : Dix-huitième Siècle, n°15, 1983. Aliments et cuisine. pp. 54 et 57 ; Cagle, 346 ; Vicaire, 592.



2 volumes in-12 (167 x 97 mm). Illustré de 4 planches dépliantes dans le t.I, représentant des tables, de 5 à 25 plats, une dizaine de bois in-texte (quelques réparations au verso des planches, petite déchirure en marge de la dernière, piqûres et rousseurs, manque le faux-titre du tome I). Reliure de l’époque : veau marbré, dos à nerfs, caissons ornés, pièces de titre de maroquin rouge et tomaisons de maroquin citron, gardes de papier marbré, tranches rouges (restaurations aux coiffes, charnières et coins).

Provenance : D. Lud. Lagoille De Courtagnon (ex-libris), il s’agit d’une famille rémoise assez célèbre.



First edition, copy in contemporary binding.
