About This Item
(Cape Town: Howard Timmins, 1962). 8vo; original pictorial papered boards; pp. 126, incl. index; line drawings as head-pieces. Covers tanned and foxed, with slightest trace of fishmothing; backstrip a little frayed at ends, with archival tape repair to tail; edges of boards a little rubbed and soiled; earlier owner's name signed on front pastedown; some foxing to edges and endpapers, occasional fox spot elsewhere. Good working copy. "The author, born in Norway, a fish eating country, is famous for her knowledge of fish dishes and the object of this book is to make the public aware of the importance of making more use of our cheapest form of protein - fish - and to guide housewives in its preparation. ... There are a great number of recipes for all types of fish found in South African waters, including a number for fresh water fish. One of the most interesting sections is that on fish soups, practically unknown in our country. Fish aspics, those delicious hot weather dishes are hardly ever seen, yet they can be prepared from any kind of fish. Another interesting chapter deals with Sauces. So here is the ideal book for every cook, no matter if they want a simple dish or an elaborate menu, there are recipes to cover every taste and every pocket." .
