De la truffe, traité complet de ce tubercule. Paris : Barba, Legrand et Bergougnioux, 1836.

L'un des ouvrages les plus complets sur la truffe, comprenant plus de 150 pages de recettes.



"Les truffes vont partout, accompagnent tout ; il faut avoir soin, par la perfection de leurs apprêts, de leur ménager une marche brillante."



Seconde édition "presque entièrement originale, puisque les pages 187 à 400 sont nouvelles" (Gérard Oberlé), faisant suite à une première édition en 1835 qui ne comprenait aucune recette. Les trois premières parties s'intéressent à la truffe en botanique, son commerce et son histoire dans l'art culinaire. La quatrième partie détaille les moyens d'extraction et de manutention de la truffe, sa mise en conserve, ainsi que des centaines de recettes utilisant le tubercule pour aggrémenter potages, sauces, oeufs, viandes, gibiers, poissons, fruits... L'auteur propose également différents moyens d'accomoder les truffes seules : au beurre, à la broche, en papillotes, farcies, ou encore cuites sous la cendre. Vicaire, 612 ("très complet [...] on y trouve toutes sortes de manières excellentes d'accomoder ces délicieux tubercules") ; Cagle, 360 ; Maggs, 451 ; Bitting, 334 ; Oberlé, 722 ("ouvrage de la plus grande rareté")



In-8 (205 x 125 mm). (Infimes piqûres éparses, rares déchirures marginales). Reliure signée Loutrel : demi-chagrin bleu nuit à long grain, dos à nerfs orné de filets dorés et de motifs dorés et à froid, tête dorée, couvertures conservées.



One of the most comprehensive works on truffle, comprising more than 150 pages of recipes.
