Sobre este artículo
London: Macdonald, 1954. A first edition, first printing published by Macdonald in 1954. A good book - no doubt a working copy. This is emphasised by the inscription from the Author on the front endpaper - "To a good pupil/D. Hartley". Wear to boards with a marking to spine and boards. Fading to the spine and some staining. Content is clean with some spotting. Edge wear and rubbing to the board edges. The dust wrapper has a few edge tears and small loss with light toning and some surface marks. Exceptionally rare signed.
Sinopsis
Her love of the infinite variety of English cooking and her knowledge of British culture and history show why our food should never be considered dull or limited. There are unusual dishes such as the Cornish Onion and Apple Pie, and even recipes for fungi, from common field mushrooms to puffballs. She describes some delicious puddings, cakes and breads, including an exotic violet flower ice cream, an eighteenth century coconut bread and Yorkshire teacakes. The finely-executed line drawings that accompany many of the recipes are more than just beautiful; they inform the cook about different varieties and techniques of food-handling. First published in 1954, FOOD IN ENGLAND was the bible of english cooks and had a deep influence on many contemporary cooks and food writers. It will undoubtedly attract a new generation of admirers.
