Item description from seller

A delightful pair of cookery books from British Indian Army soldier Arthur Robert Kenney-Herbert, including the very scarce first edition of 'Vegetarian and Simple Diet'. A smart pair of cookery works, including the very scarce first edition of Vegetarian and Simple Diet andthe uncommon first edition of Picnics and Suppers.From Arthur Robert Kenney-Herbert, an author on cooking who also served in the British Indian Army.In the publisher's decorative cloth binding.Monochrome frontispiece to Vegetarian.These works serve as a scarce example of Kenny-Herbert publishing under his own name, as he regularly wrote articles about Anglo-Indian cookery for The Madras Mail, Madras Atheneum and The Daily News, using the pen-name Wyvern.Vegetarian and Simple Diet espouses ovo-lacto vegetarian recipes and was positively reviewed in The Lancetjournal, which noted that "we are glad to welcome the appearance of a book which will teach householders that appetising dishes can be made from vegetables with the aid of eggs and milk products." In the publisher's decorative cloth binding. Externally, smart, with fading to 'Picnics' cloth and mild rubbing and bumping to both volumes. Small puncture to 'Picnics' spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are impressively bright and generally clean, with only offsetting to the endpapers and the odd spot. Very Good.…
