Octavo blue cloth gilt title to cover and spine (tips rubbed, slightly sunned) 168pp endpapers bit foxed but not affecting text which is clean & bright. *Published Immediately after WWII so powdered eggs/tinned American sausages etc are used. Interesting index which cross references every leading ingredient in addition to the named dishes. So if tomatoes are a glut the index will lead to Bolognese sauce etc. The possibilities of bacon, the uses of cooked meat, what to do with lef-over potatoes etc.
