About This Item
London; Plaistow: At The De La More Press; The Curwen Press, 1952. Duodecimo (19 x 13 cm.), 35, [3] pages. Stated "new printing"; originally published in 1933. The compiler adds a note to this new, post-war edition, noting the book "was published some years ago when the materials for good cookery were more plentiful than they are now." An charming, small culinary anthology, arranged monthly, and containing "seasonal receipts English, French, and Turkish." Fine in decorated, paper-covered boards; in a near fine dust jacket with just a bit of edge wear, and some small closed tears to edges.
