What Our Customers Say...

First Edition, Illustrated, Leather Binding
A very scarce first edition copy, with no edition remarks.
Bound in a later half morocco, with marbled boards.
A substantial cookery volume made up of nearly 2,000 recipes, including his famous lamb cutlets and Reform sauce.
Compiled by reputable French chef, writer and inventor Alexis Soyer, who describes his experience as head chef of the recently-founded Reform Club, the kitchens of which were the most talked-of in the country and at time one of the most popular tourist attractions. This volume dedicates a chapter to describing these kitchens, followed by adaptations of some of the recipes for home kitchens.
