A major inspiration of the author Julia Child was the non-fiction book La Bonne Cuisine De Madame e. Saint-ange. This is a french cookbook written by Evelyn Ébrard (writing under her maiden name, e. Saint-ange) and published in 1927 by Larousse. (Client)
It is a highly detailed work based on the 'cuisine bourgeoise' of early 20th century France, including technical descriptions of the kitchen equipment of the day as well as instructions on preparing food such as freshly-killed chickens and similar farmhouse products.
Originally published as 'Le Livre De Cuisine De Madame Saint-Ange', the current title was drawn from a later abridgement, and was retroactively applied to a modest updating of the original work by the publisher in the 1950s.
Many chefs and cooking teachers working in French cuisine have cited it as a significant influence, including Madeleine Kamman and Julia Child.
