La bonne cuisine de Madame E. Saint-Ange is a French cookbook written by Evelyn Ébrard (writing under her maiden name, E. Saint-Ange) and published in 1927 by Larousse. It is a highly detailed work based on the cuisine bourgeoise of early 20th century France, including technical descriptions of the kitchen equipment of the day as well as instructions on preparing food such as freshly-killed chickens and similar farmhouse products. Originally published as Le livre de cuisine de Madame Saint-Ange, the current title was drawn from a later abridgement, and was retroactively applied to a modest updating of the original work by the publisher in the 1950s.
Many chefs and cooking teachers working in French cuisine have cited it as a significant influence, including Madeleine Kamman, Julia Child, and Chez Panisse co-founder Paul Aratow, the last of whom translated the 1982 edition into English (published in 2005 by Ten Speed Press).
