CURNONSKY: W H ALLEN LONDON 1961 translated and edited by Edwin Lavin

Illus by Alain CORNIC, DOBIGNARD, Suzanne LABATUT, with B&W photos of French locales by various photographers. Curnonsky was born in Anjou in 1872 and baptised Maurice-Edmond Sailland. Through his prodigious memory and fine taste he became a pillar of the world of late 19th and early 20th century French gastronomy. Curnonsky was worried about the erosion of traditional regional French cookery through the intrusion of "International Cuisine" which was making inroads into French cuisine at that time due to major hotels catering to international travellers. This book is a major collection of the best in French regional cookery selected by a gourmet. In this American edition the metric measurements have been eliminated in favour of North American conventions in the recipes. Substitutions have been made for French foodstuffs not commonly available on this side of the Atlantic. About 300 recipes arranged regionally., umber cloth with colour photo pastedown with gold border, gold on burgundy spine title block, ribbon marker, colour decorative map and illus endpapers, 494pp, index In very good condition but with no D/W
