COLLECTIVE- Manual for young housewives. The Landes cook. The good servants. Dax, ed. chef H. Labèque, printer, 1910, 3rd edition, in-8, br., illus. cover and text in blue on light green background, 127 - (1) - 41 - (1) - VI pp. illus. by headbands and footbands in black, preface by the editor, alphabetical table of recipes. Here is a "manual" intended for young girls who will enter the "active life" and that their mothers communicated to them before leaving the family home. There are several chapters on cooking utensils, soups, eggs, appetizers, fish, sauces and juices, meats and vegetables, pastries, jams, liqueurs and preserves (don't forget that we are in the Landes!). In addition to this "kitchen" manual, a very important chapter on the choice and "direction" of servants! Bourgeoisie oblige! The first edition dates from 1893. The one we present is the third, after the one of 1897. Very little described and very RARE. Good condition of the paper, the edges being uniformly yellowed; the cover has been restored but remains "rustic" with numerous soiling.
