16mo, red printed pictorial wrappers, 74, vi pp. Numerous vignette text illustrations. The recipes occupy pp. 50-74 and are printed, variously, in English and French, before which appears an amazing recitation of her typical breakfast menus, prior to which is an engaging prose essay on sundry, related topics of interest. The author's fascinating, extensive biography can be sourced from Kelton Sears' research at the Historic New Orleans Collection. Begue is chiefly memorialized these days for having happened upon the then novel notion of introducing the concept of a "brunch" to the menu of tradespeople. She also ran a successful restaurant in New Orleans for decades. The present work does not appear in any of the standard culinary bibliographies. A Very Good copy.

Terms of sale
CWO, in U.S. funds. Libraries only may be billed. $ 8.95 Priority Mail postage and handling for the first volume: $5.00 for each succeeding volume. Foreign orders shipped via Global Priority Mail, flat rate at cost, or via Air Mail. Inquire, if uncertain, about the use of Global Priority on heavier books or multi-volume sets. If need be, telephone me at 1-(413)-773-5811, for clarifications. Because of the implemented EPR Registration protocols required on sales and shipments to France and Germany, I may soon be cancelling all orders to be sent to either of those two countries: the volume of sales made there in the course of a calendar year do not justify my spending the time and energy needed to register and possibly to pay the fees which shall likely follow.
Shipping terms
Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
