About This Item
New York: Horizon Books, 1952. First American Edition, 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near fine/very good. Octavo, 247pp., illustrated. No date on title or copyright page, and no printing statement, apparently indicating the first American printing. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, with the corners very gently tapped, and a faint stain on the top edge. In a very good dust jacket, only the slightest bit darkened on the spine, with a chip at the front crown joint, with partial loss to "FRE" at the start of the printed title.
Synopsis
A remarkable book ... food is treated with reverence, with understanding and, above all, with care' - Sunday Times Full of authentic recipes, this richly evocative book describes some of the splendid regional cookery of France. The food of each area has its own particular flavour, derived naturally from local resources. FRENCH COUNTRY COOKING shows the immense diversity of the cuisine through recipes that range from the primitive peasant soup of the Basque country to the refined Burgundian dish of hare with a cream sauce and chestnut puree. There is also invaluable advice on suitable cooking utensils and the use of wine in the kitchen.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
