With this book, rediscover history and entertain your friends like at Versailles!

100 recipes from the Age of Louis XIV, 100 recipes from the table of the Sun King... 400 years later, you can prepare the recipes which are the source of our cuisine today.

Some of the dishes presented in this recipe book are well known, while others are more unusual; and they have all been chosen so that you can cook them successfully and enjoy them to the full. They have all been tested: the doses, cooking methods and times are adapted to our 21st century kitchens. Contemporary products replace the ingredients that are no longer available.
