Charming original collection of these 19th-century culinary manuals that seek to codify and transmit the Parisian gastronomic art to a bourgeois and professional readership.

Volume II expands the collection to include meats, fish, pastries, and desserts, incorporating more elaborate recipes and complete menus intended for special occasions, while maintaining an educational and normative approach.
This manual illustrates the desire to establish a Parisian culinary canon, blending tradition and innovation, and offering practitioners as well as enthusiasts a repertoire of recipes and techniques that contribute to the gastronomic identity of the 19th century.
