A Commonplace Book of Cookery is a celebration of food and drink, a feast to be ravenously entered into or ceremoniously nibbled at, a banquet of offerings producing flavors of recognition and surprise, delight, wit, and wisdom. This tasteful edition is a facsimile of the limited edition produced by the Arion Press in 1975, as designed by Mr. Grabhorn's equally esteemed associate, Andrew Hoyem. A delicious book.
