Culinary Creations of the C19th Colouring Book

Culinary Creations of the 19th Century – A Culinary Heritage Colouring Book brings together a selection of 38 historic illustrations drawn from nineteenth-century cookbooks and culinary references.

The collection showcases the elaborate decorative presentations, architectural pièces montées and extraordinary table centrepieces created for the dining rooms of the period, including designs associated with chefs and authors such as Antonin Carême and Urbain Dubois.

Presented as detailed black-and-white line illustrations, the pages are intended both for colouring and for appreciating the remarkable craftsmanship and imagination behind historic culinary presentation.

The finished pages can also be framed as distinctive kitchen or dining-room artwork, making the book both a creative activity and a visual journey into an important period of culinary history.
