Vicaire 574. François Massialot (1660 - 1733) was a "officier de bouche" with a well-established reputation, which enabled him to manage the kitchens of the King's brother and some of the great lords of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. His first work, presented here, is divided into two parts, including a dictionary, aimed primarily at professional cooks. A table of dishes is included at the end of the volume. The first edition dates from June 28, 1691. Our edition, the second, was printed at the end of 1692. A very fine copy, both in terms of binding and paper. Two bookplates that I cannot identify! All pages complete! Very RARE second edition. Binding and paper in very good condition, with a few small scattered freckles and smudges from the ink used to sign Gaby's name on the title page.
