1861179351861. Book collection 1861-1957 assembling three works on mushrooms and truffles that document the development of mycology foraging practices and culinary uses of fungi across France England and Russia. The earliest volume by French naturalist Jules Rémy presents a mid-nineteenth-century synthesis of botanical observation and gastronomy detailing identification preservation and preparation of mushrooms and truffles within a European culinary tradition. The later English work by W. Delisle Hay reflects the expansion of amateur natural history in the late nineteenth century providing accessible guidance for identifying edible and poisonous species. The twentieth-century Russian volume extends this trajectory into a more modern scientific and instructional framework incorporating photographic illustration and systematic indexing. Together the collection traces changing approaches to fungi as objects of scientific study subsistence knowledge and culinary practice across multiple linguistic and national contexts.<br /> <br /> Rémy Jules.

The Russian volume includes photographic and illustrated content with systematic organization of species.<br /> <br /> Three volumes.

195519857AB1955. Edinburgh and London Oliver and Boyd 1955. 22 : 145 cm. XXIV 80 pages title vignette and a further 20 in-text engravings showing various pieces of culinary equipment . Original cloth with original illustrated dust-jacket. First trade edition. - One of the first Moorish/Arab recipe books printed. - "The first purpose of this book is to provide for those Europeans who wish to make Moroccan dishes the recipes in the most approved and classical manner of Moroccan cooking. How many dishes may be of purely Mauretanian origin it would be hazardous to suggest. Some of them are know to have come from East among which is the pastry called Treed which History records as far away as Mecca. It can scarcely be thought rash to surmise this dish to have been introduced into Morocco in the time of Mulai Idris descendant of the Prophet Mohammed who fled to Morocco and whose body lies at Fez the land of his exile. It was he who brought to the West the Mohammedan religion and may not the faithful Fatima have brought to the Moors the recipe for Treed" Foreword. - Some text in Arabic. - A mint copy. hardcover

199727525<p>New York:: Norton 1997. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine price clipped dust jacket. "Spotted Dog" is a kind of pudding and is also the favorite pudding of Jack Aubrey the fictional creation of writer Patrick O'Brian. Aubrey's adventures as an officer of the British Navy--and those of his friend and ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin--during the tumultuous years of the Napoleonic Wars have been masterfully detailed in O'Brian's many novels; now Anne Chotzinoff Grossman and her daughter Lisa Grossman take readers on a culinary adventure through the kitchens and cuisine of the early 19th century. Since food figures prominently in O'Brian's novels his fans will already be familiar with such names as Skillygalee Drowned Baby Soused Hog's Face and Jam Roly-Poly but they may wonder exactly what those dishes are. Lobscouse and Spotted Dog makes it all clear: Skillygalee for example is oatmeal gruel while Drowned Baby is similar to Spotted Dog only without the currants and eggs. And Spotted Dog is. You'll find the recipe in the Grossmans' book along with excerpts from the Aubrey/Maturin novels and many other authentic 19th-century dishes to test your sense of adventure your culinary prowess and possibly your waistline. Lobscouse and Spotted Dog is more than a cookbook--it's a window into the past and a delightful gastronomic companion to the novels of Patrick O'Brian.</p> Norton, hardcover
