Record details
Vida
Antonio Giménez o Jiménez Fornesa fue un gastrónomo español de la primera mitad del siglo XIX, además de estudioso de materias muy diversas y divulgador de noticias, cuentos y anécdotas de interés.
En 1828 publicó una Colección de refranes, adagios y locuciones proverbiales, que reúne los dichos populares españoles más significativos, ordenados por la palabra clave y acompañados de la información relativa a su origen y significado.
Además, es autor, entre otros, de un Novísimo arte práctico de cocina perfeccionada (1871, 5.ª ed.), compuesto para enseñar a las familias de las clases sociales menos acomodadas un método de condimentar y elaborar los alimentos de manera conveniente; de una Relación ó sea historia suscinta de las fieras contenidas en la leonera del Real sitio del Retiro (1827), en el que describe y enumera los animales que se encuentran en el Parque del Retiro de Madrid; de una Miscelánea completa instructiva y agradable (1828), que incluye numerosas anécdotas, acertijos, problemas de aritmética y noticias interesantes; y de unas Reflexiones morales para varios estados contra las costumbres del día (1828), que tiene como finalidad principal instruir al lector a través de la razón, alejándolo así del vicio.
