What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce
The first edition of this scarce work.
Augusta Hall, the Baroness Llanover, was a prominent Welsh heiress and patron of the arts.
In this work, Llanover gives an overview on the basic principles of good cookery, instructing clearly on cookey and domestic economy, as well as other matters involving home comfort.
'Good Cookery' is uniquely layed out cookery work, structured around conversations of a traveller to Llanover and the Hermit of Llanover, with tales of Welsh folklore alongside typical recipes enjoyed in the country.
Illustrated with a frontispiece, and eleven plates.
Collated, complete. Pages 417-432 are misbound between pages 480 to 481. Though misbound text is complete.
