Description:
Paris: Michel David, 1711. Octavo, [6], 536, [8] pages. Frontispiece, five leaves of folding plates. Second printing of the First Edition. Michel David issued the title originally in 1710. A compilation of two seventeenth century works by Nicolas de Bonnefons, here issued under a royal privilege granted to Louis Liger, sieur d'Auxerre (1658-1717). The work is divided into four books, the first three concerning cooking, the fourth dealing with gardening, and with an additional brief treatise on hunting and fishing. Liger's compilation of de Bonnefons' work continued to be revised and reissued after his death and well into the eighteenth century. And rightly so. De Bonnefons' work recognizes the primacy of excellent ingredients. The final section is considered to be the first work on the kitchen garden. John Evelyn, who translated the work in 1658, called it "the first and best work of that kind that introduced the use of the olitorie garden to any purpose." Contemporary full-calf, compartmented spine… Read More

Description:
1598 Lesina Company Dialogues Italian Political Satire Cuisine Finance Orvieto
In 16th-century Florence, there was a rise a style of literature that focused heavily on political satire. One such work was 'Company of the Lesina Dialogues'. This work of unknown authorship describes a group of travelers on the way to Lesina and their conversations. It covers a wide variety of topics including food and recipes, as well as money and finance – things the group sought upon arriving at their destination.

While there are no exact connections between the two, the parallels between 'Lesina' and Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales' are evident. Fictional travelers discussing life on their way to a destination.

This edition was published in Orvieto, Italy in 1598. A unique 16th-century work published in a small Italian town.

1597 Cooking & Cuisine FEASTS Stucki Antiquitatum Convivialium Greek Ceremonies

Johann Wilhelm Stucki was a 16th-century Swiss historian and theologian who published an important treatise on the development and history of ancient ceremonies and banquets. 'Antiquitatum Convivialium' was a study on the art of banqueting and ultimately stated that ceremonies of all types were a necessary and significant part of all cultures. This work was so ground-breaking, that it was solely responsible for all other accounts written on the subject. Nicolas Popper states that
"Stucki devoted nearly four hundred folio leaves to the feasts of the ancient Hebrews, Greeks, and Latins."

[United Kingdom, 1920. Quarto-sized spring-back binder (29 x 24 cm.), [10], 84 pages, numbered by hand. Detailed table of contents. Title from cover. Many leaves are carbon, with a few the original, and most leaves have a few holograph edits. Paper watermarked "Silver Line". An illustrated advertisement for the "Rekarts Instantaneous Spring Back Binder" pasted-down to front interior binding panel. Laid-in is an original photograph (20.5 x 16 cm.), signed by the photographer "Thos. Tindall, Hancock?" (the subject of the photo is presumably the compiler, R.H. Murphy). ~ A "manuscript" cookbook with more than three hundred eighty recipes in ditto or mimeograph (alternating blue or black ink), many with holograph edits. Based on the style of edits (textual and not culinary) and the detailed Table of Contents, it seems likely this was a compilation being prepared for publication. We have not, however, been able to identify a published work that corresponds with this text. After the nine page table of… Read More

1750 Confectionary Cookbook MENON French Cuisine Cooking Dessert Candy Recipes

The Menon Cookbook is perhaps one of the most famous 18th-century cookbooks ever published. While the identity of the author is never revealed, he is generally referred to as Menon. While much better known for 'La Cuisiniere Bourgeoise', one of the best-known and oft reprinted cookbooks, he also published a confectionary cookbook, "La Science du maître d'hôtel". This book contains over 600 recipes for jams and jellies, marmalades and preserves, mousse, ice cream, syrups, biscuits and cookies, and much more!

This impressive 1750 first edition was published in Paris by Paulus-du-Mesnil.
