Description

4to., with a coloured frontispiece, coloured plates and numerous illustrations in the text; red pictorial boards, backstrip lettered in white, red endpapers, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Lavishly illustrated reissue of the author's first book, with Minton's original illustrations augmented by well-chosen plates by Old and Modern Masters. David contributes a new introduction written expressly for this edition; in it she provides a fascinating and hard-hitting account of her publishing history. The introduction to the original edition of 1950 is preserved. A well-produced and respectful version of one of the first of the author's three cookery books that changed English cooking forever.
