What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

Bound in the publisher's original pictorial paper wraps.

This volume is a very scarce, first edition of this work.

This work is a concise Good Housekeeping booklet of savoury recipes for parties and everyday entertaining, grouping ideas for hors-d’oeuvre, “substantial” and after-dinner savouries, plus snacks for “odd-time” entertaining.

Recipes include: "Cucumber Creams," "Smothered Sausages," Sandwich Waffles," "Onion Crisps," "Egg and Ham Cutlets," "Spanish Omlette," "Anchovy Toast," and "Cheese Meringues" to name a handful. 

D. D. [Dorothy Daisy] Cottington-Taylor (1891-1944) was a domestic scientist and longtime head of the Good Housekeeping Institute.
