Le Pot-au-feu: Journal de cuisine pratique et d'économie domestique, later called Le pot-au-feu et les Bonnes recettes réunis (1929-1956), was a biweekly cooking magazine in quarto format published in Paris from 1893 to 1956,[1][2] and addressed primarily to bourgeois housewives.[3] Its publisher was Saint-Ange Ébrard.
In the early years, each issue began with a cooking lesson written by a professional chef. It might also include recipes, menus, and short articles.[3] Ébrard's wife Marie also wrote a column[4] under the name "La Vieille Catherine".[5]
Many of the recipes published in Le Pot-au-feu were collected into Marie Ébrard's book La bonne cuisine de Madame E. Saint-Ange.[6]
