the Dictionnaire de l'Académie des Gastronome

I start a review of the gastronomic titles Alexandre Dumas, and already, in the first book that comes to hand, Le Grand Dictionnaire de Cuisine , in the first and second page, which encourages me to discuss it appears in Table Talk.

In the edition of Conde Tchou 1965, read in a footnote Jean-de Arnaboldi, where comments on the work of Dumas :

"... someone criticized, at any given time, there manipulated to your liking history and, in some ways, raping her. "Indeed, you said, but beautiful creatures that you did! " "True, and no one would blame"

On the next page, there is an engraving that makes us think that Dumas great, was not overly favor of of food diets and preparations light, if not rather favors the prepared kitchen.

-1802/1870- Dumas Author of "The Three Musketeers" (1844) and "The Count of Monte Cristo" (1844) retired in Roscoff to enter the Grand Dicctionnaire de cuisine, convinced that it would be his masterpiece.

The Larousse gastronomic read:

"... In the strictly culinary is unreliable, despite the friendly cooperation of Joseph Vuillemot , Antonin Carême student, he published a revised and shortened Dictionnaire in 1882. But, despite its errors, its shortcomings and snap judgments, the work, written in a fun and entertaining style, is full of anecdotes and articles rigorous half and half humorous, making it "the tastiest of novels layer and appetite (J. Arnaboldi).
