Hardcover. First Edition. 210 pages. 21 x 15 cm. From the author of The Joy Of Cooking, this follow up to her first smash hit found its audience with busy cooks - working women, daughters helping out at home, students, homemakers without help, and bachelors. With a nod towards packaged foods, Rombauer tried to lighten the work of homemakers by using both fresh and canned foods. Rombauer (ahead of her time) recognized the need to publish a practical guide for the realities of modern (1930s-1940s) life, as opposed to the more elaborate or time-consuming cooking manuals. Pages lightly toned but otherwise clean and crisp. Dust wrapper heavily rubbed at edges. Covered in protective mylar. Blue cloth covered boards. Very good, in good dust wrapper.
