The Art of Eating in France: Manners and Menus in the 19th Century, Jean-Paul Aron
This is a fascinating history of what it was like dining in France over the course of the 19th century. This book goes with the Vie Privée d’Autrefois books. It gives a keen sense of what it was like eating in France in Balzac’s time. In fact, as I look at it now, I want to reread it. Fascinating. Copyright ? (the French edition was in the ‘70s sometime), hardcover, 249 pages, condition good (the dust jacket is torn along the base of the spine. The book is worn and brown but still holding together well.)
