Le Guide du Gourmet à Table presents practical advice for diners, menu construction, table service, carving, beverages, and gastronomic terminology, together with cultural and aphoristic reflections on the art of dining. Published in London by Carmona & Baker (Long Acre), this “Nouvelle Édition, Revue et Augmentée” reflects late-19th century Anglo-French culinary influence and the rise of formal restaurant culture. An evocative period piece of gastronomy and dining etiquette. Offered in well-worn but complete condition. Year: Circa 1890s (Nouvelle Édition, Revue et Augmentée; exact year not stated).
