The New James Beard

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1981. First Edition. Hardcover. Yellow illustrated boards. Near fine, in very good dust wrapper. 625 pages. 24 x 16 cm. A cornucopia of wonderful dishes and imaginative variations, of old favorites and new creations for every mood and occasion. With over 1000 recipes, every single recipes has been either newly created or freshly reworked for this book - and they range from Beard's own favorite Southern-fried chicken, and his old-fashioned post roast (with six variations, including Mexican and Madeira versions), and an irresistible apple pie. Interior pristine, boards very lightly rubbed at edges, dust wrapper rubbed at head and tail of spine. Covered in protective mylar.
