Georges Spetz / Mlle Jeanne Riss - L'Alsace Gourmande, Poëme gastronomique, suivi de cent quarante recettes Alsaciennes - 1914

Exciting edition with 20 frames and 40 vignettes by Mlle Jeanne Riss, of this work which opens with a true poem devoted to gourmandise and the pleasures of the table, making cuisine an essential element of regional identity and collective memory -

Georges Spetz here evokes with a sensibility that is both literary and popular the products, the meals, the seasons, the markets, domestic habits and the pleasures associated with Alsatian tables, transforming foods and culinary preparations into poetic subjects -

This first part is therefore not limited to a description of dishes, for it highlights an entire art of living based on conviviality, abundance, family sharing and attachment to local productions -

The second part takes a decidedly practical turn with a set of one hundred forty Alsatian recipes intended to preserve and transmit a regional culinary heritage -
