I found a hit with MLA bibliography (CD-ROM) version, using subject
tracing <France-social life and customs>. Most of the articles were in
French. My student researcher was fluent in French, and knew which
citations to download. For the recipe you should try Larousse
Gastronomique, the encyclopedia of food, wine & cookery, by Prosper
Montagne, New York : Crown 1961. LCCN : 61-15788. p. 202. Note
following : "Another cake is
made in France at this time, shaped like a wooden shoe and is decorated
with petits fours."
