All auctions / Books, Maps & Manuscripts / M. Charles Monselet - La Cuisinière poétique - 1859
Thrilling original edition of this singular work that combines culinary art with literature by transforming recipes, meals, products and the pleasures of the table into poetic matter - Charles Monselet, writer, columnist and gastronome of the 19th century, transposes his taste for good cuisine, the Parisian spirit, and literary games into a universe where cooking becomes a subject worthy of poetry and fantasy - The very principle of the book rests on a deliberately original rapprochement between the cook and the poet, two figures who, each in their own way, select, assemble and transform elements to produce a work meant to awaken the senses and pleasure - M. Charles Monselet - The Poetic Cook - 1859 - Michel Lévy Frères - 199 Pages. Good condition of the binding, the work in its green half-percaline binding in the original bradel, marbled boards, cover preserved, not trimmed, minor signs of wear, some minor defects on the cover, headcaps a bit worn, foxing on the edges, mottled edges, smooth spine, gilded title and author’s name on a red morocco inlay - Good interior condition, browning, fine vignette on the title page, endpapers in decent condition, a pleasant copy - Delivery service available within a few days -
