La Cuisine des pauvres. Dijon : Defay, 1772.

Nourrir les plus démunis : édition originale d'un essai pionnier.



Novateur par son caractère social, l'ouvrage met en avant le riz et les pommes de terre pour pallier les pénuries de farine. L'auteur présente ainsi une recette de riz économique dont les vertus sont certifiées par les médecins de la paroisse Saint-Roch, qui assurent qu'il s'agit d'un aliment "plus propre à la santé que tous ceux que peuvent se procurer les pauvres". La recette de pain économique à base de pomme de terres fut également très bien reçue à l'époque. Deux planches représentent des machines permettant de "réduire en pâte des pommes de terre cuites pour en faire du pain." L'auteur, désireux de permettre aux plus démunis de se procurer une alimentation saine même en période de pénurie, avait été officier des États de Bourgogne, qui furent le théâtre de la guerre des Farines en 1775. Vicaire, 224-225 ; Livres en bouche, 163.



In-4 (252 x 200 mm). Illustré de 2 gravures sur cuivre. En-têtes, lettrines et culs-de-lampe gravés (petite tache au titre, infimes piqûres). Broché, sous couverture en papier marbré (dos fendu avec manques).



First edition of this work gathering economic recipes to remedy flour shortages.
