Original pre-Revolutionary vegetarian recipes, most newly translated from French, in a selection inspired by a menu prepared for a fast or "meager" day, when no meat was allowed. Includes eighteenth century preparations for onions, lentils, asparagus, peas, almonds, mushrooms, morels, beans, artichokes, cabbage, spinach and truffles, as well as sweet djshes such as apple beignets and creme brulée, and a number of stocks, sauces and doughs. Also includes an essay on "Vegetarians in Eighteenth Century France", exploring the supposed vegetarianism of figures like Voltaire and Rousseau, as well as religious communities and the more general population. An entertaining resource for historical cooks, culinary historians and vegetarians alike.

Jim Chevallier is the author of several collections of monologues and has published a variety of other works on cooking, handwriting and the Bastille. His essay "The Queen's Coffee and Casanova's Chocolate: the Early Modern Breakfast in France" appears in the collection "Consuming Culture in the Long Nineteenth Century" (Tamara S. Wagner and Narin Hassan, editors). He is also a contributor to the Dictionnaire Universel du Pain and notably wrote the articles on those iconic breads, the croissant and the baguette. He is the former host of several radio shows on stations WBZ-FM, WBUR-FM and WCAS, and has appeared as both a singer-songwriter and actor on stage and on screen.
