Description
New York: HORIZON PRESS, 1952. First American Edition. Hardcover. Tan cloth covered boards. Very good, in good dust wrapper. First appearing in 1951, when rationing was still in force in Britain, David's book was an escapist read for the food starved public. This beautifully written cookbook - a classic, that should be read, sitting on a lawn chair while plotting your next meal. The food writer, Molly O'Neill said it best when she wrote: "Cooking wasn't a science to David; it was an art. Recipes today are created to be followed literally and slavishly, the culinary equivalent to paint-by-numbers. The recipes that David wrote nearly half a century ago are broad strokes on a canvas - she leaves the details to the cook, and for this reason, her recipes are neither dated nor dowdy, they are alive." Line drawings by JOHN MINTON. Owner's handwritten recipe index on front free end paper, otherwise clean. Boards lightly rubbed at edges. Dust wrapper heavily rubbed with chipping and previous tape repair on interior. Covered in protective mylar.
