Although excluded by his esteemed family and peers due to his appearance and unorthodox behaviour, he aimed to reeducate the French on traditional cuisines in his 8 issues of the book titled 'Almanach des Gourmands'. He believed that the French "nouveaux riches" had lost the meaning of fine dining after the Revolution. The books were extensive and through; he provided 543 ways to make eggs. 
Interesting= Gluttony means eating excessively and was concerned by the Catholic Church as a deadly sin. 'Gourmands' were usually associated with gluttony, but Grimod argued that Gourmands ʻpossessed an enlightened sense of taste . . . developed through extensive experience' and that there was a distinction between them and Gluttons. ]]> 2018-02-05 08:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/laraba/Riccardo9/wish/228002262 ranika https://padlet.com/laraba/Riccardo9/wish/228003216 Summary= Talks about the life of Grimod, a man born into French aristocracy with a genetic deformity to the hands.
