First UK Edition. ELIZABETH DAVID'S COPY. 311 pp. Elizabeth David's oval bookplate at verso of front cover. Publisher's cream illustrated laminated boards. Colour frontispiece and 10 colour illustrations by Messel. Boards rubbed and soiled. Spine ends pushed. Clean interior. About VG. No dustwrapper. Although Sysonby was a Baroness, her practical approach to cooking was combined with a fascinating blend of tradition and innovation. Her cook book pulled together recipes from her Great-Grandmother downwards and included ideas for soup, fish, luncheon dishes, meat, puddings, savouries, cakes, sandwiches and mixed drinks. 'Every recipe has been successfully achieved by my own good plain cooks who have never been chefs'. Great provenance. Photographs/scans available upon request.
