285. MENON. La Cuisinière bourgeoise, followed by l'Office, for the use of all those who are involved in household expenses. Paris, L. Cellot, 1779. 2 vols. in-12, xxvi, [1] f., 392 p. ; 400 p., brown marbled basane, spine with ornate nerves. This new edition is increased by several primers that the publisher Louis Cellot (1731-1815) has marked with a star. There have been many editions of the Cook, not always very faithful to the original text. Vicaire, Bitting, Oberlé give other editions. Bindings rubbed with small leather chips, crack on leather at one spine, volumes protected in transparent film, some foxing and other minor defects. Attached: - VIARD (André or Alexandre), FOURET & PIERREHUGUE. Le Cuisinier royal ou l'art de faire la cuisine, la pâtisserie et tout ce qui concerne l'office pour toutes les fortunes (...) suivie d'une notice sur les Vins. Paris, J. N. Barba, 1820. In-8, [3] f., vi, 536 p., (vii-xxii), marbled tan basane, smooth spine decorated. Tenth edition, but the first to include the name of Fouret, former officer of the King of Spain's mouth, as contributor. We owe him an increase of 850 recipes, indicated by the editor by an F in brackets, and the addition of 3 folded plates showing three times three figures of table services from 8 to 40 place settings, erroneously announced as 9 plates from 12 to 60 place settings. Note that while most bibliographers give Alexandre as Viard's first name, the Bnf recognizes only André. Binding a little rubbed, corners dulled, foxing to the fold of one plate, other minor defects. (Vicaire, 860; Simon, 1565 and Oberlé, 168 for another edition). - ALLETZ (Pons-Augustin)]. L'Albert moderne, ou nouveaux secrets éprouvés et licites, recueillis d'après les découvertes les plus récentes. Liège (Paris), J. Bassompierre & J. Vanden Berghen, 1770. In-12, xvi, 288 p., [1] f., tan granite basane, spine ribbed and decorated. This modernized version of the Secrets of Little Albert contains numerous recipes: how to make carrot jam, chocolate cream, meat jelly, or how to cook vegetables without water or poultry without a spit and without fire. Provenance: the library of Count Emmanuel d'André under n° 5 of the catalog of the sale of April 24, 2006. Some foxing. (Oberlé, 123; Vicaire, 9).
