My latest translation from the work of Le Grand d'Aussy should be of
particular interest to people here. His last chapters are where he moves from
specific foods to an overview of feasts and everything that went with them:
table customs, table decorations, ornate entertainments, etc. All of which he
reviews in great detail, drawing on various period sources.
I have called the collected translated chapters:
Feasts and All Their Finery
Elegant Dining in Old Regime France
