PIERRE DE LUNE.

Le Cuisinier, où il est traitté de la veritable methode pour apprester toutes sortes de viandes, gibbier, volatiles, poissons, tant de mer que d'eau douce : suivant les quatre saisons de l'année. Paris : Pierre David, 1656.

Rare édition originale : la cuisine française organisée selon les saisons.



L'ouvrage, publié dans la veine des éditions du Cusinier françois de La Varenne, rassemble plus de 900 recettes. Il se démarque par sa divison selon les saisons et non plus selon le traditionnel calendrier d'obligations liturgiques. Après le Traitté des quatre saisons de l'année et le Traitté de patisserie vient une partie consacrée aux recettes appropriées pour le Vendredi saint, prouvant qu'une "gastronomie du maigre" est possible. L'habile cuisinier propose ainsi des recettes végétariennes des plus sophistiquées, des oeufs mollets falsifiez aux baignets de grains de grenade. Pierre de Lune aurait officié dans les cuisines du duc de Rohan puis de la duchesse d'Orléans. Vicaire 542-543 ; Livres en bouche, 111.



In-8 (168 x 102 mm). En-têtes et lettrines gravées (titre bruni et restauré, rousseurs et mouillures). Reliure du XIXe siècle : vélin rigide, titre manuscrit au dos. Sous emboitage moderne.

Provenance : A.G. du Plessis (ex-libris armorié) ; ex-libris gravé non identifié, partiellement déchiré.



Rare first edition of this treatise on French cooking, the first organized according to the four seasons, comprising a large section of recipes adapted to Good Friday.
