A smart second impression of this illustrated cookery book from British cookery expert Josephine Terry. Second impression. With the vanishingly scarce original unclipped dust wrapper. Illustrated throughout. A book of distinctive recipes that is perhaps the first real cookery book that explains what ingredients do and how they combine, as well as how they react to different methods of cookery. Each recipe is kept to its most economical level, but also lists finer ingredients for "better times". Written by Josephine Terry, a British cookery expert who was the wartime cookery expert for The Daily Mirror and later hosted a British cooking advice television show which aired from 1946 to 1947 on the BBC called Josephine Terry's Kitchen. As each episode was aired live they no longer exist, methods to record live television did not exist until late 1947, and were used very rarely by the BBC until around 1953–1955. Decorations by Joy Batchelor, an English animator, director, screenwriter, and producer. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, very smart with minor bumping to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrapper is smart with light wear and the odd small closed tear to the extremities. Light sunning to the spine with the odd small mark. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd small spot. Very Good Indeed.…
