"Benedictus Benedicat" A Collection of Cookery Recipes

A very smart first edition of this vanishingly scarce work from Lady Savill, being a collection of family recipes. First edition. Very scarce work. A collection of old family recipes not usually found in the ordinary household, though not extraordinarily extravagant. Tested and simply written to provide good results for even the inexperienced cook. With recipes from angel food and apricot jellies to Viennese pudding and veal rolls, with note pages scattered throughout the text. Written by Lady Savill, Helen W. Savill. In the original quarter cloth binding with paper covered boards. Externally, smart with light rubbing and minor bumping to the extremities. Minor fading to the spine and sunning to the board edges with the odd small mark. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean. Age toning to the endpapers with the previous owner's bookplate to the front endpaper. Very Good.
