Prima edizione di questa celebre opera di alta pasticceria scritta dal rinomato chef e pasticcere francese, Jules Gouffé (1807 – 28 febbraio 1877) che per le sue straordinarie composizioni gastronomiche, venne chiamato “l'apôtre de la cuisine décorative”. Gouffé ebbe un enorme impatto sulla gastronomia francese e questa sua opera, fu d'ispirazione ad un'intera generazione di pasticceri e chef e la sua lezione è ancora viva oggi, grazie all'apprezzamento di diversi celebri chef contemporanei come Bernard Loiseau e Hervé This. L'autore si formò nella bottega del padre che possedeva una rinomata pasticceria in via Neuve Saint-Merri, a Parigi. Divenuto allievo di Antonin Carême all'età di soli 16 anni, rimase con lui per sette anni. Narra la leggenda, riportata la prima volta proprio in quest'opera da noi proposta che Gouffé che Carême, di passaggio, si fermò ad ammirare le “pièces montées” che erano in mostra, congratulandosi con il proprietario e offrendosi di prendere suo figlio sotto la sua protezione. Il suo primo lavoro fu durante un ballo tenuto nel 1823 dalla città di Parigi, in onore del duca d'Angoulême ottenendo un grande apprezzamento. Nel 1840 aprì un negozio rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré che presto divenne uno dei più famosi di Francia e che cedette poi nel 1855. Nel 1867 accettò l'offerta di Alexandre Dumas e del barone Brisse, che già da tempo glielo chiedevano, di diventare chef de bouche del Jockey-Club de Paris. E' proprio quando iniziò questo lavoro che gli venne l'idea e la voglia di iniziare a scrivere libri sulla pasticceria, in modo di tramandare ai posteri le sue conoscenze e le sue idee. Rif.

Second Impression on laid paper with frontispiece illustrated title and numerous illustrations several full-page in the text; original grey tweed cloth backstrip blocked in brown and lettered in gilt a remarkably bright clean crisp copy in price-clipped dustwrapper the latter very lightly chafed at extremities. Published eight months after the first edition. DAVID'S FIRST BOOK AND THE FIRST OF THE THREE VOLUMES THAT WOULD CHANGE ENGLISH COOKING FOR EVER. Lehmann's first edition of 1950 was a small print run in relative terms expensive and intended to appeal primarily to the converted. Dedicated to Veronica Nicholson it was also the work that combined for the first time David's highly characteristic style with Minton's wonderfully complementary illustrations. Certainly it can be argued that this is the most influential English cookery book of the twentieth century. EXTREMELY SCARCE IN ANYTHING LIKE THIS CONDITION John Lehmann, hardcover
