Cookbook finds

I was lucky enough to receive, via a most sharp-eyed friend in Paris, a full set of Carême's L'Art de la cuisine française (volume three has a few wine stains and four what look like three of the four mother sauces--the three light ones). He also sent along what he claims is Escoffier's recipe for pêche Melba.

Been spending time at Oxbridge--Papa has not responded to my most recent plea. The little darlings are so tedious, but it pays the bills.
