James Beard's American Cookery

I'm always astonished by what this book turns out to have in it that is nowhere else: sweet and sour sturgeon, raw apple cake (the best use ever for slightly aged apples in the fruit bowl), on and on. Plus all the great stories.

Bizzare piece of ephemera. 105 1 ply white paper towels, 9x11", American Cookery recipes in blue. Box illustration adapted from the Little Brown & company design of Elna Rapp, illustrations of Mary Purcell.
