Le Cuisinier Royal

This rare book, published in 1817 in Paris by Barba, Alexandre Viard's Le Cuisinier Royal is the ninth edition of the incredibly popular Le Cuisinier Imperial (1st edition, 1806). This "dispensatory" was published in at least 32 successive editions, with titles that varied according to prevailing political circumstances; in 1817, at the time of the Restoration, it became Le Cuisinier Royal, and in 1852, in its 22nd edition, Le Cuisinier National. This culinary encyclopedia continued to be the basic reference book for professional cooks throughout the 19th century.
