'It is this history that is the subject 'It of Larousse subjectof Montagn6 has Gastronomique, in which Prosper Montagné pages aH some thousand outlined in sorne thousand pages all the improvements from preart from brought to to the the culinary art ments brought historic times to the historic thé present day.

Indeed, if if the the history of domestic cooking, which is inseparable inseparable from the domestîc history of the people, hasn't changed and if the great recipes remain remain the same despite despite the great the same tremendous simplification of modern modern cooking, tremendous on the other other hand dietetics is a new science which

Moreover, taking his pleasures of the table where he can find thern, he has to recogrocognise, for for instance, instance, that freezing or freezenise, that deep deep freezing drying (words which w€re were unknown to Prosper Montagn6 and his contemporaries) offer to the Montagné and as well as to appetite as weIl as to the the greed greed of man man many satisfying satisfying solutions. solutions.
