Description
Summary:
"The design of the following book is to furnish receipts for a select variety of French dishes, explained and described in such a manner as to make them intelligible to American cooks, and practicable with American utensils and American fuel...Many dishes have been left out, as useless in a country where provisions are abundant."--Preface.
Note:By Louis-Eustache Audot. "Sulpice Barué was the editor of the 6th (1827), 7th (1829), and 8th (1829) editions of Audot's La cuisinière de campagne, from which Leslie drew the recipes for her Domestic French cookery. ... the Barué editions of La cuisinière de campagne were readily available in Philadelphia bookshops. Audot was so well known to the city's culinary community that he hardly needed introduction."--William Woys Weaver. "More additions to the Lowenstein bibliography of American cookbooks, 1742-1860." Journal of gastronomy, v. 6 (Autumn 1990): pages 103-112.
