What Our Customers Say...

Description

Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding

Unrecorded Robert Hayes Ltd. edition. With eighty-six in-text illustrations. A detailed guide to the making of ices for Marshall's School of Cookery, with chapters on individual ices, souffles, mousses, sorbets, and more. With tips on the freezing processes for water or custard and cream based deserts. Written by Agnes Bertha Marshall, an English culinary entrepreneur, inventor, and celebrity chef. An unusually prominent businesswoman for her time, she was known for her work on ice cream and other frozen desserts, which earned her the moniker "Queen of Ices". She is credited with having popularised ice cream in England at a time when it was still a novelty, and is often regarded as the inventor of the modern ice cream cone. With publisher's advertisements to the rear.

Front hinge starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd spot. Light age toning to the endpapers.
