DUBOIS, Urbain: La cuisine d'aujourd'hui. School for young cooks. Service of breakfasts - Service of dinners. More than 300 ways of preparing eggs. Paris, Flammarion, S.d. (circa 1900), 7th edition carefully corrected with numerous additions during the author's lifetime, large pt. in-4, printed red cloth boards, cold engravings on spine and first cover, XV - (1) - 794 - (2) - XXVI pp. 260 drawings in black, 40 of which are engraved (including 1 as frontispiece), nb. pl. de menus. No need to present the author so much his name is a reference in the cuisine of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The first edition of this book dates from 1889; this is the seventh edition with many additions. This book is essentially written for young cooks and is the first special treatise on lunches; the second part, more classical, is intended for diners. Urbain Dubois is the precursor of the so-called "Russian service", that is to say a service directly on a plate presented to each guest as opposed to the "French service" where the dishes are all placed on the table and where each guest serves himself as he wishes and in the order he wishes! Numerous illustrations of dishes as well as many seasonal menus. An indispensable "tool" for all young cooks. Good general condition; the covers are bent with a slight but present discoloration of the binding; very little soiling of the paper; inversion of 4 pages in the table of contents (no missing pages!) A book that "smells" good cooking and "living"...
