![ARCHIVE] International Pastry Chef's Career Journals](/images/upload//carousel_45_1.jpg?v=1627412558)
Egoroff, Michel. 16 Volumes. This archive gives an inside look not only into the history of pastry throughout a large part of the 20th century, but also a glimpse into the inner workings of a professional kitchen and how it operated during this time.
Michel Egoroff was a working chef whose long career is detailed in this comprehensive collection of handwritten journals. Egoroff worked in Belgrade, Ljubljana, Opatija, Fiume, Florence, Paris, Nice, Monte-Carlo, London, New York, Houston, Dallas, and Los Angeles. This ambitious chef specialized in patisserie and worked at upscale hotels around the world. Egoroff's anthology of notebooks details the breadth of his career, which spanned over 50 years with each journal connecting seamlessly from one language to the next. He was fluent (or near fluent) in French, English, Russian and German. Egoroff took meticulous notes, demonstrating throughout his career the techniques he most likely wanted to pass on to the next generation - our theory, after spending a great deal of time with these journals, is, Egoroff was embarking on making these records into a book.

This journal is overflowing with recipes along with news clippings pertaining to the chef, photographs, and hand drawn images. Cloth covered boards, in very good condition.
Vol. VII: 300 pages. 31 x 10 cm. "No. 2 Book ". This journal is from Egoroff's time working in Los Angeles - at the Biltmore Hotel and possibly teaching at Pavilion and Curtain Call at the Music Center, two restaurants owned by the famed American restauranteur, Fred Harvey, located in the Performing Arts Center of Los Angeles. Recipes written in English and French. Mementos of his time in Los Angeles include memos, photographs, menus, news clippings, and lists and notes pertaining to the pastry. Press clippings also show the famous clientele he catered to during his time at the Music Center restaurant. Cloth covered boards, in very good condition.
Vol. VIII: "Chef Egoroff - Biltmore, Start Working March 27, 1961, Finished Working November 29, 1969" 152 pages. 31 x 20 cm.

This seems to be an attempt at creating a cookbook out of all of his journals.
Vol. VIII - XIII: These notebooks include glued newspaper/book clippings, all in French - recipes and food writing. Many of these clippings are from Gazette du Ménage and Les Propos de Tante Rosalie - published in Brussels. These may have been the property of Egoroff's wife, Elyce, as many of the recipes and instructions are for domestic economy.
From our research we conclude that Michel Egoroff was born in Moscow, Russia in 1905, emigrated to the United States in 1952 and became an naturalized citizen (along with his wife) in 1958.

![LEDGER] [MANUSCRIPT] Jacob Suydam His Book 1762](/images/upload//carousel_39_1.jpg?v=1614273179)
Suydam, Jacob. [LEDGER] [MANUSCRIPT] Jacob Suydam His Book 1762 10 pages laid in - family history. Township of Flushing Queens, 1762 - 1819. Unpaginated [304 pp]. 32.5 x 21 cm. Autograph manuscript, ink and pencil on paper. Accounts penned on both rectos & versos. This manuscript account book records the iron trade and farm business of Jacob Suydam (c. 1730 - 1809) in the Township of Flushing Queens. Featuring the names we now consider familiar throughout the New York City boroughs - this ledger is teeming with the linked history of early life in the New York, Long Island, Brooklyn, and the Flushing Queens community. The names of Hicks, Willet, Smith, Ries, Van Wick, Cornell, and Willis all find there places in this document.
Jacob Suydam's footprint in the new world, or as his ancestors referred to the New York area as New Netherlands, begins with his great grandfather, Hendrick Jijcken (Rycke,) who arrived in New Netherlands in or around 1663 - taking the Oath of Allegiance in September 1687, as a resident of Flatbush, Long Island. He was a blacksmith by trade, eventually settling in the Midwout section of Queens. Midwout (middle woods) was named by these Dutch settlers as an area of dense woodlands. Hendrick's son (Jacob Suydam's father) Jacob Rycke (1666-1737) adopted the name Suydam sometime in the early 1700's.
The ledger begins on March, 1762 - Jacob Suydam diligently records every patron's name and every task that was performed, along with the cost and payment or credit. Many of his neighbors were listed multiple times as this was a tight knit community and much of the trade was done locally. For instance, Benjamin Arison is listed nine times from 1766 through 1775. With over sixty different family names registered here, the ledger describes tasks such as: hoop a churn, plate a plow, shoe a horse, mend tongs, mend a grindstone, iron and nails for wagon, teeth for oyster tongs, mend for bettle ring, spring for lock, as well as credit earned for days work, foodstuffs sold, and cash lent out.
Three quarters the way through the ledger, dating July, 1777, the recording of Iron Trade work concludes and picks up on the next page, in a different hand, documenting the Will and Inventory of Jacob Suydams. Historical records are concurrent with the dates recorded here: "July 8, 1809 Cash paid for proving the will and Inventory". The next four pages chronicle the money paid out of the Estate of Jacob Suydam, with the last date in ink written May 10 1819.
We know from the 1790 census that Suydam and many of his neighbors were slave owners - Suydam owning 5 slaves that year. In his last Will (found online), Suydam sets free his slave Sarah, who is "somewhat advanced in years" and asks that she be supported by the Will if she is unable to support herself with labor. In the ledger, directly beneath the recording of cash paid out for Jacob's Will are 2 records: 1810 February 26 - "Cash paid for digging Jacob Suydam's grave" followed by Cash paid for digging old Sarah's grave" and March 2 "Cash paid for old Sarah's Coffin." Also found in historical records online - Suydam freed his "Negro Boy William", first putting him out "to service" with "such a master as will give him learning sufficient to read and write" until his age of Twenty Three and then he would "be free and at his liberty and own disposal." We believe Jacob was married but the wife had died earlier, as it states in his Will, his wife's property had already been apportioned to her relatives. Jacob's Will assigns his property to his siblings and their descendants - there seems to have been no living children.
The last quarter of the account is written in pencil and seems to be an accounting of a farm with similar customer/family names recorded earlier on in the ledger, but with foodstuffs noted. 10 handwritten pages laid in - family history linking Jacob Suydam to Benjamin Arison as his Uncle. One of the notes recalls "Uncle Ben Arison (son) having a vegetable market on Main St. Flushing for several years and I remember as a child when visiting Grandmother Fowler in Flushing around 1867-70 going to see him and eating the fruit." Note is attributed to Mary Elizabeth Roe, daughter of Mary Arison (Fowler) Roe and Newbury Roe. The letters laid in discuss the family history of many of the clients recorded in the ledger with principal family name of Roe.
Ledger is noticeably worn with cracking to the hinges, although still holding well. Pages toned with some torn and a few ripped out at the rear.

Markham, Gervase. Containing all the Secrets belonging to that Art, and brought into a true Forme or Method, by which the most Ignorant may know how to take any king of Fowle, either by Land or Water. Also, exceeding neccessary and profitable for all such as travell by Sea, and come into uninhabited places: Especially, all those that have any thing to doe with New Plantations. London: Francis Grove for Martha Harrison, 1655. Second Edition. [xvi] including the woodcut frontispiece 285 [1] pages. 14 x 9 cm. Profusely illustrated with charming woodcuts, this rare and pragmatic seventeenth century English treatise deals with every aspect of fowling and Falconry while including, in the title, a nod to the Americas and the need for a work devoted to self-sufficiency - (the first dedication mentions 'the blessed Plantation of Virginia'). Markham explores the various methods of bird-catching, including descriptions and illustrations of the use of nets, springs, decoys, guns, and hounds; with the training and grooming of hounds and 'water doggs'. Baiting with 'Beafe, Mutton, Veale, or any other kinde of Fleshe', along with Nux Vomica (Homeopathic preparation) is used in taking Land-Fowl. Bird calling is described while some of the fowl mentioned are Pheasants, Ravens, Partridges, Crows, Sparrows, Gray-Plover, Robins, Starlings, and Linnets. Chapter twelve is entirely devoted to Hawking. An unsophisticated contemporary binding that has stood the test of time as this would have been used in the field and most commonly found heavily restored or in modern bindings. Later spine label lettered 'Fowling', contemporary annotation, possible shelf mark, to title-page, slightly rubbed with some worm damage and rubbing to boards. Both pastedowns sprung but still present, with with early ownership inscription of 'J. Cooke Gaiborough' to the verso of the upper board. Contemporary sheep. Very good. Hardcover.

A LADY (GLASSE, Hannah). Which far exceeds any Thing of the Kind yet published. London: A. Millar, J. & R. Tonson, W. Strahan, P. Davey and B. Law, 1760. Seventh Edition. 384 pages - (24 ind.) First published in 1747, the book was reprinted within its first year of publication - 20 editions in the 18th century followed. It was not uncommon for a female scribe to keep her identity hidden, but by using the title "A LADY", erroneous claims of authorship flourished. Unfortunately for Glasse, her financial situation was never secure and she filed for bankruptcy and even spent some time in debtors prison. [OXFORD 77], [BITING 189].
