Louis Baudry de Saunier (1865-1938) was a French journalist who wrote extensively on popular science particularly the bicycle and the motor car, but also touring, camping and other technical subjects.  The Collection Baudry de Saunier consisted of approximately 40 or so 'do it yourself' books covering automobiles, bicycles, electricity, sport, woodwork, home medicine and other topics.  Baudry de Saunier wrote at least 19 of them.  These two are the only volumes on food in the series; all the others would have been in the workshop or garage.  The author is unknown but, as noted in the introduction she, "is not a professional patissier, but rather a young girl from a solid family who has applied herself and learnt the art of patisserie and confiserie by observing others"

A excellent solid collection of practical French baking and confectionery recipes with technical instructions for the home cook seeking to learn how to bake, make pastries and confectionery from the inter-war period.

§  OCLC records only 12 holdings of volume 1 and 2 holdings of volume 2; all in Europe or North America.
