About This Item
This is a huge, lavishly produced A-to-Z encyclopedia of culinary knowledge packed with approximately 2,000 recipes for appetizers, hors d'oeuvres, soups, main dishes, breads, salads, desserts--anything and everything to do with food.
It was compiled by Jane Solmson and edited by the American chef Charlotte Turgeon (1912 – 2009), who is well-known for translating and editing the first English-language version of the Larousse Gastronomique.
You may see the 1985 edition of this book listed as its first edition—this is its actual first edition (1982). It was published by Weathervane Books and distributed by Crown Publishers by arrangement with Ottenheimer.
This copy is in near-perfect condition. There are small spill marks on the front endpaper (1) and on pages 418 and 419 (minor). Also, a 2" strip of the red surface—just the top layer of paper—has come off the back cover. There are a couple of little shelf marks on the spine.
It's a big beautiful book. 8 ½" x 11" x 2".
Heavy--5 1/2 lbs. Nearly 800 pages, with at least 800 color photographs.
