Item description from seller

Three smart volumes of cookery and hosting guides from British author Nell Heaton. Three volumes. Written by Nell Heaton, a British author best known for cookery books. This set contains: A Calendar of Country Receipts, 1950. First edition. Illustrated with a frontispiece and thirteen plates. Collated complete. A collection of hints, reminders, scraps of half-forgotten lore, and recipes for food, drinks, lotions, floor polishes, and so on. Intended to persuade both rural and urban housewives that nothing need ever be wasted. Illustrated by Leonard Huskinson, an English artist, illustrator, teacher and schools examiner. Traditional Recipes of the British Isles, 1951. First edition. With illustrations throughout. An appetizing collection of traditional recipes taken from every corner of the British Isles, recalling great feasts of the past as well as simple and homely recipes to suit any palate. Illustrated by Berthold Wolpe, a German calligrapher, typographer, type designer, book designer and illustrator and his wife, Margaret Wolpe, a German artist, sculptor and silversmith. The Complete Hostess, 1958. Illustrated throughout. Dated from the University of Exeter Library. A comprehensive and essential manual for all faced with the problems of entertaining at home. With tips for all occasions from a child's birthday party to a cocktail dinner, to a wedding breakfast, and more. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, very smart with minor wear to the extremities. Original dust wrappers remain unclipped other than The Complete Hostess which has been price-clipped. Dust wrappers are smart with light wear and minor chipping to the extremities. Sunning to the spines with the odd small mark to the panels. The odd small closed tear to the panel edges with minor loss to the head and tail of the spines, with light loss to the head of the spine of The Complete Hostess. Sympathetic repairs made with tape. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot. Minor age toning to the endpapers with the previous owner's bookplate to the rear endpaper. Very Good Indeed.
