Title: 'Le Tournebroche Mécanique: Développement et Variations au Fils de Siècles'

Unique reference work on mechanical rotisserie.

Limited edition: 85 copies. The production of this edition was made possible by Antique-fireback.com.

Until the introduction of the stove, people cooked over an open fire. Food was, among other things, roasted on a spit that was initially turned by hand. The mechanical rotisserie or roasting jack made this a lot easier. The mechanical rotisserie was developed in all shapes and sizes. They are true expressions of human ingenuity. Author Henk Klaassen was captivated by this and wrote a unique and complete reference work on the development and shapes of mechanical turnspits. A must for those who, professionally or as a hobby, are interested in the ways of cooking in the fireplace or in antique fireplace accessories in general.

With more than 400 color photos.
