Item description from seller

The first edition of Frederic Nutt's very scarce and impressive cookery book, with recipes intended for use in opulent occasions. The very scarce first edition of this work. Wonderful to see in the original paper covered boards.In this work the author wanted to present a variety of popular foreign and English dishes, not intended for the professional cooks, but for those with the slightest knowledge of cookery.The author states that the work was not adapted for normal families, as the recipes he presented were too expensive. They are intended instead for opulent and wealthy families, or dinner parties.With a half-title.Illustrated with a portrait frontispiece.With the bookplate of Joyce Scudamore to the front pastedown.Written by Frederic Nutt, who also wrote 'The Complete Confectioner'. In the publisher's original paper covered boards. Boards detached, but present. Losses to back strip. Boards age toned. Bookplate to front pastedown. Front free endpaper tenderly held. Internally, firmly bound, but with half title tenderly held. Pages clean and bright. Good Only.
