Description
ROQUES (Joseph). Nouveau traité des plantes usuelles, spécialement appliqué à la médecine domestique, et au régime alimentaire de l'homme sain ou malade. Paris, P. Dufart / Saint-Petersbourg, J.-F. Haüer, 1837-1838. 4 volumes in-8, green half-chagrin, spine ribbed and decorated. First edition. This book is not only a work of natural science, it is also and above all a book of "mouth science". Its author, Joseph Roques, was a friend and frequent guest of Grimod de la Reynière and the Marquis de Cussy (Desnoiresterres pp 279-286). It contains anecdotes such as the one about "white beans in oil, Emperor Napoleon's delight" and a large number of recipes, including Tomates farcies à la Grimod, Soupe aux choux et au fromage and Soupe à l'oignon à la Cussy. The last part is devoted to mushrooms, including a chapter on truffles. Some brown spots.
