MENON. La science du maître d'hôtel cuisinier, avec des observations sur la connoissance & propriétés des Alimens. Paris, Paulus-du-Mesnil, 1749 In 12mo. 160x90 mm. Coeval binding in full marbled leather, marbled guard sheets, sinew spine with gilt title and friezes, red boards. Pages [4], XCVI, 552, [8]. Slight traces of use and sporadic foxing, good copy. Rare first edition, key work by one of the most influential cooks of the century. The copy bears the author's signature at the bottom of the first numbered page, in authentication of the edition. The text is preceded by a "Dissertation préliminaire sur la cuisine moderne," written by É. de Foncemagne according to Barbier, an alphabetical index of dishes and some seasonal menus. Willan: "François Menon was the most influential and prolific French cookbook author of the eighteenth century. During his time, today's familiar categories of French cooking were emerging, and Menon was a master of them all: nouvelle cuisine (a term that each generation redefines); haute or classical cuisine; and cuisine bourgeoise. He even wrote the first French cookbook devoted specifically to a woman cook (La cuisinìere bourgeoise) ... Menon first described the new cuisine in detail in the third and final volume of Nouveau Traité de la cuisine (New Treatise on Cooking, 1742). In contrast to traditional cooking, he wrote, the key to nouvelle cuisine was delicacy. Sauces were lighter but at the same time more nourishing; seasonings aimed to enhance rather than mask lead ingredients.... Menon not only wrote about the practicalities of nouvelle cuisine; he was also concerned with philosophy, linking his mission closely to that of the leading thinkers of the Enlightenment: to advance and disseminate knowledge that allows humankind to live in a state of nature perfected.
