A terrific example of a Victorian era cookbook--you'll be surprised at the things your ancestors ate that people on "Survivor" would hesitate to stick a fork into. But to me, the best thing about this cookbook is the recipe for Self-Freezing Ice Cream. Yes, boys and girls, you do not need an ice cream maker to have creamy, rich and sinfully luscious homemade ice cream. All you need is some patience, a big enough container, and the freezer. Oh, and the ability to adapt the ingredients to show more what's currently available, but that's not a chore. Try it some time! show less
Beautiful red & black type columns. Testimonials from prominent cook book authors. Very pretty production. Quite collectible.
Not in biblios. Oversize pretty cover. Frontis autographed etching of the author. With original engravings. Pink salesman slips bound in highlight features of this new work. 532p. in completed work, this one jumps around.
