Item description from seller

A smart second impression of this cookery book from Irish novelist Maura Laverty, with the scarce original unclipped dust wrapper. Second impression, printed the same year as the first. With the vanishingly scarce original unclipped dust wrapper. Illustrated throughout. Laverty's readers will note her novels are fragrant with appetising kitchen-smells from many lands, her philosophy of life being that things are never quite so bad that a good meal cannot make them seem better. Here she has collected recipes from across the world, tried and tested in her own kitchen. Written by Maura Laverty, an Irish novelist, playwright, journalist, broadcaster and cookery expert. With a section on diet from Sybil le Brocquy, an Irish playwright, patron of the arts and conservationist. Illustrated by her son Louis le Brocquy, an Irish painter who represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale, winning the Premio Acquisito Internationale. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing to the extremities and the odd small mark. Original unclipped dust wrapper is sound with light wear and chipping to the extremities. Minor loss to the head and tail of the spine with sympathetic repairs made with tape. The odd small closed tear to the panel edges with light sunning to the spine. The odd small mark to the panels. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot. A contemporary ink inscription and the previous owner's bookplate to the front endpaper. Very Good.…
