Mme H. Delage & G. Mathiot - Je sais cuisiner - 1932

Good illustrated edition of this fascinating monumental culinary work that has become a classic in French-speaking households since its first edition in 1932.

Designed as a practical and encyclopedic manual, it gathers more than 2000 recipes covering all domestic preparations — appetizers, main courses, desserts, sauces, preserves — with methodical clarity and a desire to democratize the art of good eating.

It embodies a bourgeois and rational vision of French cuisine, emphasizing simplicity, rigor, and family transmission, while gradually integrating regional and international influences.
