Description
1777 Cookbook MENON French Cuisine Cooking for Women Wine Liquor Food Recipes The Menon Cookbook is perhaps one of the most famous 18 th -century cookbooks ever published . While the identity of the author is never revealed, he is generally referred to as Menon. ‘ La Cuisiniere Bourgeoise ’ is one of the best-known and oft reprinted cookbooks and features hundreds of recipes and food preparations along with beer and wine making, ingredients, and strategies for cooking. Menon is known to include fewer seasonings and ingredients that are cheaper thus creating a sense of ‘lower-class’ food; even though Menon focuses on beautiful and eye-appealing dishes. This cookbook was also known to be the very first cookbook devoted specifically to a woman cook . Menon himself said that the title could be read as either ‘cuisine’ or ‘woman cook’. Either way, it answered a real need in France of female home-cooks along with recipes acceptable for the bourgeois. (Willan, 218-225). It was also the only cookbook to be reissued following the French Revolution.

Schilb packaged the two-volume Bible carefully in bubble wrap and secured the texts in the shipping container with paper to prevent movement. Thoroughly pleased with the item’s condition and the store’s quick delivery — it arrived only a few days after ordering! I plan to recommend this seller to all of my friends who share a love for rare books. A gem of a store!

Neben der ausführlichen Artikelbeschreibung mit vielen Bildern (welche dem realen Zustand des Buches entsprachen) verlief die Kommunikation sehr informativ mit kurzen Reaktionszeiten. Der Versand aus den USA nach Deutschland dauerte nur 1 Woche. Das Buch war sehr gut und sicher verpackt. Alles bestens, vielen Dank, jederzeit wieder!

Amazing, quick postage, great value, well packaged. Great condition, as described in listing. Wife who is learning Latin is extremely happy. Never thought we would have something so old, a full hundred years older than my next oldest book. 5 star great seller
