Description
[GASTRONOMY]. COLOMBIÉ (Auguste). New Culinary Encyclopaedia. Bourgeois Pastry-Making, Bourgeois Cooking. Meulan, Rety, n.d. 3 volumes in-4, light-coloured half-shagreen with corner pieces, ribbed spine, covers preserved.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORKS ON FRENCH CUISINE.
Colombié was the greatest teacher of cookery. He took great care to write his recipes with great clarity and to supplement them with valuable commentary.
A highly sought-after work, as a large part of the stock was destroyed after the author’s death; furthermore, many of our contemporary chefs, who have made extensive use of this work, have never taken it upon themselves to promote its value.
