1951 The Y.W.C.A. of Malaya & Singapore Cookery Book
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce
A scarce work.
The 1951 sixth edition of Mrs. A. E. Llewellyn's guide to the food of Malaya and Singapore.
A fascinating mid-20th-century community cookbook compiled by members of the Young Women’s Christian Association, reflecting the diverse culinary traditions of the region.
This work brings together a wide range of recipes - Malay, Chinese, Indian, Eurasian, and Western - designed for the domestic cook, often adapted for local ingredients and household conditions.
With advertisements to front endpapers, and interspersed throughout.
Bookplate of Martin and Pamela Finch tipped in to the title page. They were antiquarian booksellers with an interest in antiquarian gastronomy.

In the publisher's original cloth backed paper covered boards. Boards bright, with light handling marks. A touch of fraying to back strip head and tail. Joint heads starting, with boards firmly held. Internally, firmly bound. Tipped in bookplate to title page. Pages generally clean and bright.
