In Praise of French Cuisine by Édouard Nignon was published in 1933. This book presents all aspects of French cuisine, from menus to recipes, all sprinkled with the author's tasty anecdotes.
Divided into three parts, the book offers to discover traditional recipes of French cuisine, classified by theme. We thus get to know what Nignon calls "the French Art of Eating Well" and the culinary precepts. Then, the second part establishes the basics of cooking know-how: soups, sauces, ice creams, spices, marinades... Finally, there are the "formulas" (a term preferred to that of "recipes"), taken from lunches and dinners that took place during the year 1876. A romantic description of these meals is related by Nignon, a testimony that instantly immerses us in the atmosphere of the time.
