The enforcement of the guild system in France forbade any but registered \u201ctraiteurs\u201d to sell stews, braises or ragouts, that is, dishes that were made up of solid foodstuffs plus liquids.<\/p>\n<p>All the early restaurateurs could sell were the liquids that resulted from heating meats, fowl, and vegetables \u2014 not the solids themselves. Hence, broths, bouillons, and consomm\u00e9s, the first \u201crestaurants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A warming restorative broth can be appropriate any time of year. I offer the recipe for the most well-known of its day, Francois Massialot\u2019s (1660-1733) \u201cPotage Sans L\u2019Eau,\u201d \u201ca soup made without water,\u201d first published in 1691 in his revolutionary cookbook \u201cLe nouveau cuisinier ro\u00efal et bourgeois.\u201d It is the intense set of just juices rendered from very slow cooking of several meats and vegetables.<div class=\"su-callout-box col-xs-12 col-sm-6 right\" style=\"background-color:#dce4e7; color:#2e3b44;\">More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/author\/bstjohn\/\">great tips and recipes<\/a> from Bill St. John.<\/div>\n<p>\u201cLe nouveau cuisinier ro\u00efal et bourgeois\u201d was the first cookbook published after the Middle Ages that listed recipes alphabetically, in thematic groups and that championed what would become the great achievements of ensuing eras in French cooking: the building blocks of fonds, stocks, and liaisons, as well as a well-organized kitchen.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_72876\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-72876\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-72876\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/21082057\/MASSIALOT-1691-RECIPE-POTAGE-SANS-LEAU-web.webp\" alt=\"Francois Massialot\u2019s recipe for Potage Sans L\u2019Eau, from a 1691 edition of his cookbook, \u201cLe nouveau cuisinier ro\u00efal et bourgeois.&quot;\" width=\"640\" height=\"483\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-72876\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Francois Massialot\u2019s recipe for Potage Sans L\u2019Eau, from a 1691 edition of his cookbook, \u201cLe nouveau cuisinier ro\u00efal et bourgeois.&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Massialot\u2019s original recipe stipulated using capon, pigeon, and partridge, as well as veal, all meats difficult to find (or, not to say, undesired) by the contemporary cook. So, I substitute similar proteins such as chicken and duck. Too, Massialot requires two large \u201cwell-tinned\u201d pots, one that will fit inside the other for a slow simmer of \u201c5-6 hours.\u201d By and large, we don\u2019t sport that sort of kitchen equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Well, he did not own a Crock-Pot or other slow cooker, as we generally do, so my telling of his recipe does. But heed Massialot\u2019s important advice to seal the cooker\u2019s lid extremely well, to prevent any steam from escaping. (I used two overlapping sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.)<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_72877\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-72877\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-72877\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/21082102\/MASSIALOT-ORIGINAL-FRENCH-web.webp\" alt=\"Francois Massialot\u2019s 1691 recipe for Potage Sans L\u2019Eau, in the French of his time, in the process of translation for the modern cook.

(The recipe in the 1705 edition of the same cookbook also recommends cockscombs, ha.) But give your own cooking that rein if you\u2019re up to it.<\/p>\n<p>Massialot\u2019s recipe does not furnish much quantity of \u201cpotage\u201d\u2014maybe 2 cups total if you\u2019re lucky\u2014but, wow, is it concentrated and delicious, replete with gelatin and an array of flavors. A \u201crestaurant\u201d indeed. (Also, a significant amount of fat to skim, but also a lot of cooked meats to use in other meals down the line.)<\/p>\n<p>I also offer a second recipe for what seems to be nutritive rage these days: that for bone broth. A leftover turkey carcass from a family gathering would be a perfect base for bone broth. The recipe here also allows for a trio of cooking methods, one of which has also proven very popular, the Instant Pot.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Potage San\u2019s L\u2019Eau<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>By Francois Massialot, \u201cLe Nouveau cuisinier ro\u00efal et bourgeois,\u201d 1729 edition, adapted for a modern city kitchen.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>1 1-pound piece beef shank<\/p>\n<p>1 1-pound lamb shank<\/p>\n<p>1 3-pound frying chicken<\/p>\n<p>2 pounds duck (neck, leg, thigh or combination)<\/p>\n<p>3 medium leeks, white part only, free of soil<\/p>\n<p>1 medium parsnip, partially peeled and split lengthwise<\/p>\n<p>Bouquet garni of \u201cfines herbes\u201d (several sprigs of parsley and tarragon wrapped and tied, in the form of a cigar, in the green \u201cleaf\u201d of a leek)<\/p>\n<p>1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Prepare a slow cooker (\u201cCrock-Pot\u201d or the like, with a tight-fitting lid). In the pot, snuggly place the pieces of meat and fowl. Atop them evenly lay the leek, parsnip and bouquet garni. Sprinkle with the salt and cover.<\/p>\n<p>Begin on High heat and when the meat has rendered some juices, turn down the slow cooker to Low. Cover the pot and seal the lid with 2 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, closing all the edges well<\/p>\n<p>Let the slow cooker cook on Low for 8-10 hours. Remove the solids from the rendered juices and broth, reserving the meat and its bones. Degrease the broth. Take as much meat off their bones as you wish, tossing away any fat or gristle, reserving the meat. Serve the broth, heated well.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bone Broth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Adapted from draxe.com, cooking.nytimes.com, pressurecookrecipes.com and Bill St. John. The apple cider vinegar helps break down the bones\u2019 collagen, minerals and connective tissues. Makes about 3 quarts.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>3 pounds fowl, pork or beef bones, or combination (including, if available, 1\/2 pound of chicken feet, a solid option)<\/p>\n<p>2 medium stalks celery, rough chopped<\/p>\n<p>1 large or 2 medium yellow onions, peels left on, roughly chopped (or 2 large leeks, cleaned, white and green parts both, roughly chopped)<\/p>\n<p>2 medium carrots, washed, skin left on, roughly chopped<\/p>\n<p>4 cloves garlic, peeled, lightly crushed or smashed<\/p>\n<p>2 bay leaves<\/p>\n<p>6 sprigs parsley, leaves and stems both<\/p>\n<p>6 sprigs thyme, leaves and stems both<\/p>\n<p>1 teaspoon black peppercorns, whole<\/p>\n<p>1 rounded teaspoon kosher or sea salt (or 2 tablespoons fish sauce)<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup apple cider vinegar<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If unroasted, you may brown the bones and their meat for 30 minutes, on a rimmed baking sheet, in a preheated 450-degree oven.<\/p>\n<p>Place all the ingredients in the chosen cooking vessel and pour in 3 quarts of filtered water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instant Pot: <\/strong>The water should not come up more than 2\/3 of the way on the sides of the inner pot. Cook on High Pressure for 3 hours (if using only \u201cwhite\u201d meat such as pork or fowl) and 4 hours (if using beef). Allow the pressure to \u201cnaturally release,\u201d which will take about 45 minutes. Open carefully.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slow Cooker <\/strong>(such as a Crock-Pot): Cook on low for 24 hours (if using only \u201cwhite\u201d meat such as pork or fowl) and 48 hours (if using beef). Occasionally skim fat that rises to the top of the simmering liquid but keep pot covered throughout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stovetop Stock Pot: <\/strong>Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a bare simmer and follow the same timing as Slow Cooker directions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For all three methods: <\/strong>Carefully strain the bone broth of its solids.<\/p>\n<p>Let cool and place in a safe, cold spot (an outdoor patio, for example) or the refrigerator. Any fat will rise overnight, congeal and can be separated from the bone broth.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reach Bill St. John at <a href=\"mailto:bill@billstjohn.com\">bill@billstjohn.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first \u201crestaurants,\u201d so named, weren\u2019t restaurants.

He writes and teaches about restaurants, wine, food &amp; wine, the history of the cuisines of several countries (France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and the USA), about religion and its nexus with food, culture, history, or philosophy, and on books, travel, food writing, op-ed, and language. Bill has lent (and lends) his subject matter expertise to such outlets as The Rocky Mountain News, The Denver Post, The Chicago Tribune, 5280 Magazine, and for various entities such as food markets, wine shops, schools &amp; hospitals, and, for its brief life, Microsoft\u2019s sidewalk.com. In 2001 he was nominated for a James Beard Award in Journalism for his 12 years of writing for Wine &amp; Spirits Magazine. Bill's experience also includes teaching at Regis University and the University of Chicago and in classrooms of his own devising; working as on-air talent with Denver's KCNC-TV, where he scripted and presented a travel &amp; lifestyle program called \"Wine at 45\"; a one-week stint as a Trappist monk; and offering his shoulder as a headrest for Julia Child for 20 minutes. Bill has also visited 54 countries, 42 of the United States, and all 10 Canadian provinces.","url":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/author\/bstjohn\/"}]}},"coauthors":[{"id":2197,"name":"Bill St. John, for UCHealth","link":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/author\/bstjohn\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2197"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72871"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72871\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":82194,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72871\/revisions\/82194"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
