About This Item
San Francisco: The Hicks-Judd Company, 1911. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. Original emboseed cloth, wear at corners, a few surface marks and stains, front hinge rubbed in two spots. Binding a little shaken, bright internally with a few notes and recipes added in a contemporary hand. Old ownership label to pastedown, stamp to endpaper. 272pp. Just four copies in OCLC, Bitting 594
Pages 17-184 (there are memoranda pages interspersed that are unpaginated) are food recipes, the rest household hints. Johnny cakes, popovers, lots of egg recipes, soups, sandwiches, mushrooms dishes, vegetable "chili con-carne" that contains neither chile nor carne, lots of nuts, fruit salads, pies (sweet potato, rhubarb, squash) and some interesting vinegar and drink recipes. A fascinating book precisely because, unlike many vegetarian books of the period, it seems to be entirely non-ideological (no asceticism here, there's a recipe for a Manhattan) beyond presenting economical meatless recipes. Size: 8vo. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Cooking, Wine & Dining; Inventory No: CAT000788.
