About This Item
Paris: Louis Vendosme, 1674. First Edition. Hardcover (Full Leather). Fair Condition. Full contemporary calf, worn at corners, hinges slightly cracked. Extensive pen marks to front endpapers, book is quite shaken and shows signs of having been re-glued with some adhesions in the gutter as a result, a number of quires loose and with wear to outer margins, lacking pages 7-10. (xii), 390 (of 394), front and rear blanks present. Lacking the second part (not related to cookery) Avec de Beaux Secret Gallans.

The cookery section features a remarkable selection of international meats: Bologna Sausage, Milanese Cervelats, Mainz Ham, Piemontese Pork, Saucissons from Lombardy, Polish Pike, and a mix of other recipes for cakes, fixing olive oil that has turned rancid, and, of course, blancmanger.
