Item description from seller

A very smart second edition of this uncommon post-war cook book, edited by English journalist Constance Peel. The second edition. Very scarce to find earlier copies.In the publisher's original illustrative cloth binding.Published the year after the end of the Great War, the book introduces with the sentiment that people should appreciate the skills they have developed of using food with more care and an economic mind.This collection of recipes covers stocks, soups, fish, poultry, meatless dishes, puddings, breakfast and breads and cakes.Edited by Constance Peel, credited here as Mrs C. S. Peel, an English journalist and writer known for her books on cheap household management and cookery.After the First World War, she worked on behalf of women, sitting on governmental committees.From the library of Jill Norman, an editor and food writer. Norman began working at Penguin in the early 1960s and, as the only woman, the care of the company's cookery books fell to her. It was her responsibility to expand the cookery titles Penguin produced, and thus began to publish works by Jane Grigson, Claudia Roden, and Alan Davidson. In particular Norman worked closely with the famed cookery writer Elizabeth David, with whom she was good friends. In the original cloth binding. Externally, very smart, with rubbing and bumping to the extremities and slight fading to the spine's cloth. Bookplate of Jill Norman to the front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with offsetting and the odd spot to the endpapers. Very Good.…
