Alexandre Viard, Le Cuisinier Royal
(Paris: Barba), 1817. First Edition, Thus (9th edition)

The ninth edition of the incredibly popular Le Cuisinier Imperial (1^st edition, 1806); this is the first edition of the title appearing thus. This "dispensatory" was published in at least 32 successive editions, with titles that varied according to prevailing political circumstances; in 1817, at the time of the Restoration, it became Le Cuisinier Royal, and in 1852, in its 22^nd edition, Le Cuisinier National. This culinary encyclopedia continued to be the basic reference book for professional cooks throughout the 19^th century.
