This volume is the first to present all four extant manuscripts of the Viandier de Taillevent. The texts of the 220 recipes are in their original French and a complete English translation is provided. Variants between the four manuscripts represent more than a century of modifications in gastronomic tastes and culinary practices in French seigneurial life. The commentary and notes trace the significance of these modifications and indicate the influence the Viandier exercised on more recent cookery books throughout Europe. This critical edition also includes a glossary and a

Si depuis une trentaine d’années la gloire et le prestige entourent les grands chefs français, l’histoire des cuisiniers ne se confond pas avec celle des cuisiniers les plus célèbres. Le monde des cuisines comprend en effet plusieurs catégories d’« ouvriers » et d’acteurs : à côté des cuisiniers de la restauration commerciale, il y a les cuisiniers de maison bourgeoise et les cuisiniers de la restauration collective. Si importantes qu’elles soient, ces distinctions n’ont pas empêché les cuisiniers de lutter ensemble pour changer leur statut dans la société. Jusqu’à la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la condition de l’immense majorité des chefs et des cuisiniers était celle de domestiques ou d’employés. Dans les restaurants les chefs étaient placés sous l’autorité des restaurateurs, propriétaires des restaurants et des maîtres d’hôtel qui dans les salles étaient au contact direct de la clientèle. Les chefs et les cuisiniers ont été longs à s’affranchir de cette double tutelle et à gagner leur indépendance. Ils ont cherché à la fin du xixe siècle à faire reconnaître leur compétence et leur qualification professionnelle puis ils sont devenus progressivement au xxe siècle propriétaires de leurs restaurants. La médiatisation puis l’aventure de la Nouvelle Cuisine dans le dernier tiers du xxe siècle les ont mis en relation avec d’autres mondes – le show business, l’industrie et la finance – tandis que l’industrie agroalimentaire changeait complètement les conditions et les modalités d’exercice de leur métier. Quant aux cuisiniers de maisons bourgeoises, ils ont dû attendre les années soixante du xxe siècle pour acquérir le statut de salarié qui n’est plus seulement celui des cuisiniers de la restauration collective mais celui de la majorité des cuisiniers en France. Fondée sur des sources et des archives inédites, cette Histoire des cuisiniers en France aux xixe et xxe siècles est celle d’un groupe, d’un métier, d’une profession en quête d’identité et de reconnaissance.

De la couleur du vin au goût du pain, des ingrédients de la soupe à l'ordre des mets, du déclin des épices à l'arrivée des nouvelles plantes américaines, ce livre est une invitation au voyage en alimentation au pays de Rabelais, de Vatel et d'Antonin Carême au moment où la cuisine française se sépare nettement des autres cuisines européennes et acquiert une flatteuse et durable réputation d'excellence. Du Moyen Âge finissant au commencement de l'époque contemporaine, Florent Quellier dresse un vaste panorama des discours et des pratiques du Boire et du Manger des Français d'hier. Des contraintes techniques, diététiques et religieuses de l'approvisionnement alimentaire au détournement hédoniste de l'alimentation dans les deux derniers siècles de l'Ancien Régime, ce livre s'intéresse autant à l'humble écuelle du manouvrier qu'à la fastueuse table de l'aristocrate. Chemin faisant, à la recherche des racines de l'actuelle exception culinaire française, l'auteur propose un essai de lecture culturelle des liens anciennement et intimement tissés entre les Français et leur Table.

In the closing years of the fourteenth century, an anonymous French writer compiled a book addressed to a fifteen-year-old bride, narrated in the voice of her husband, a wealthy, aging Parisian. The book was designed to teach this young wife the moral attributes, duties, and conduct befitting a woman of her station in society, in the almost certain event of her widowhood and subsequent remarriage. The work also provides a rich assembly of practical materials for the wife's use and for her household, including treatises on gardening and shopping, tips on choosing servants, directions on the medical care of horses and the training of hawks, plus menus for elaborate feasts, and more than 380 recipes.The Good Wife's Guide is the first complete modern English translation of this important medieval text also known as Le Ménagier de Paris (the Parisian household book), a work long recognized for its unique insights into the domestic life of the bourgeoisie during the later Middle Ages. The Good Wife's Guide, expertly rendered into modern English by Gina L. Greco and Christine M. Rose, is accompanied by an informative critical introduction setting the work in its proper medieval context as a conduct manual. This edition presents the book in its entirety, as it must have existed for its earliest readers.The Guide is now a treasure for the classroom, appealing to anyone studying medieval literature or history or considering the complex lives of medieval women. It illuminates the milieu and composition process of medieval authors and will in turn fascinate cooking or horticulture enthusiasts. The work illustrates how a (perhaps fictional) Parisian householder of the late fourteenth century might well have trained his wife so that her behavior could reflect honorably on him and enhance his reputation.
