ROBUCHON, JoëlLivre Rare Book

Festival de la cuisine française par Joël Robuchon. Carte - Menu de gala. Hôtel - Restaurant Okura - Tokyo - Japon.

réf. 69462Tokyo, éd. Hôtel Okura, S.d. (fin des années 90, début des années 2000), in-folio (29 x 42 cm), cartonnage souple ill. en coul. d'une reproduction d'une affiche "Belle Epoque" de Mucha sur fond brun-vert clair, titre en noir, sur la 4e de couv. "hôtel Okura" en noir, 1 feuille (56,5 x 41,5 cm) carton souple crème pliée en deux avec texte en français de coul. verte et texte en japonais de coul. noir, prix en yen, sur le haut de la troisième page un carton collé avec deux suggestions de plats avec les prix, L'hôtel Okura fut construit dans les années 60 à Tokyo. C'est grâce à son chef, Masakichi Ono, que ce restaurant ainsi que cet hôtal fut le plus grand et le plus respecté du Japon voire du monde. Au niveau du bâtiment, c'est un chef-d'œuvre des années 60. Il fut le décor d'un James Bond, "On ne vit que deux fois" en 1967. Les plus grands chefs français comme Paul Bocuse et Joël Robuchon ont honoré la France et le Japon par leur présence pour des dîners et festivals de prestige, comme l'indique notre "menu" ! L'hôtel Okura fut détruit en 2015 pour faire place à un somptueux établissement qui est devenu un des meilleurs du monde. Il faut signaler également que le chef français Frédéric Simonin participa aux "quinzaine gastronomique" en 2011 et 2012 dans ce même hôtel. Joël Robuchon, décédé le 6 août 2018, ouvrit son premier restaurant au Japon, à Tokyo, en 1989, le "Taillevent-Robuchon" qui fut suivi par bien d'autres. Les japonais voyaient en lui un "dieu" absolu de la cuisine française ! Je n'ai pû trouver la date de ce "festival de la cuisine française", qui devrait avoir eu lieu entre les années 1990 et 2000 ! Cet "objet de souvenir" rapproche deux disparus, le grand chef Joël Robuchon et un des plus beaux hôtels du monde ! Il est à considérer comme un "souvenir historique" ! Ce menu - carte ne fut imprimé que pour les invités de ce gala (d'inauguration ou de cloture ?), soit en très petit nombre et est donc EXTREMEMENT RARE !! Très bon état; le cartonnage est très légèrement fâtigué au bords mais le cartonnage avec le menu et la carte est en très bon état !

The African Cook Book. Menus are from the Tree Houses Restaurant of the Pavilion of Africa New York World's Fair 1964-65

1964réf. 9415New York: Harvest House 1964. Small quarto in comb binding 25.5 x 18 cm. 64 pages. Illustrated. Index. FIRST EDITION. A cookbook of regional African recipes by Bea Sandler restaurant consultant and food magazine editor. An expanded edition was released in 1970 by World Publishing Co. with the contracted title African Cookbook and re-issued again in 1993. The introduction to the 1993 edition notes that “The first publication of this book was . the first volume on African cooking to appear in this country or anywhere outside of Africa.” The second half of that statement was incorrect but it was indeed the first published in the U.S. The cookbook originated with Sandler’s role in planning the menu for The Tree Houses Restaurant at the African Pavilion of the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. Sandler writes in the preface that after being given this task “to our amazement we could not find an African cook book published in America” though they were able to turn up a couple of volumes published in Africa after which “we embarked on a long and complex testing program. We invited people who had been in Africa to participate in the testings and to advise us on the final selection of menu items.” Each chapter of the book “is designed to give you a complete luncheon or dinner as you would get it at the African Pavilion.” For instance one chapter provides a complete “Couscous Menu” consisting of Groundnut Soup Couscous Mauritania a salad and Mango-Banana Sundae. Other recipes in the book include “Tree House” Chutney Curry of Beef Kenya Chicken Moamba Foo-Foo and Nigerian Pancakes as well as six recipes for alcoholic cocktails including Paw-Paw Paradise and Tanganika Tonic. The lower portion of each page prints a description of one of the countries featured at the pavilion. Sandler went on to travel extensively around Africa compiling recipes for her 1970 edition of this cookbook. This original World's Fair publication is very uncommon. One small pencil annotation to margin otherwise internally clean and sound. Photographically illustrated covers are lightly rubbed and with some bumping to corners otherwise fine. Not in Tipton-Martin's The Jemima Code. Harvest House unknown
