About this Item

Hardback. First Edition To Set Before a Queen. Slight foxing to end inside covers and edge. Mauve cloth with gilt lettering. All my life people have asked me for recipes and I have suffered from the fact that my inability to reveal the details has been interpreted as professional secrecy. The recipes in this book, though only a fraction of the dishes I have cooked in a lifetime, are some of the ones I have been asked for most often, and I am happy that I can at last supply them. I am happy too for the opportunity of setting out a few of the true principles of Swedish cookery - a sadly unknown branch of gastronomy. But perhaps the best advice I can give, for anyone who wants to make other people happy with their food, is to cook with love and trust your palate. As for love - no dish should be served without it. 111pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
