FRENCH COUNTRY COOKING; decorated by John Minton
London: Macdonald, 1958. Second Edition. 207 pages. 20.5 x 13.5 cm. A beautifully written cookbook - a classic, that should be read, sitting on a lawn chair while plotting your next meal. The food writer, Molly O'Neill said it best when she wrote: "Cooking wasn't a science to David; it was an art. Recipes today are created to be followed literally and slavishly, the culinary equivalent to paint-by-numbers. The recipes that David wrote nearly half a century ago are broad strokes on a canvas - she leaves the details to the cook, and for this reason, her recipes are neither dated nor dowdy, they are alive." David assists us as we sit in our favorite chair and explore every region in France. Dust wrapper and Illustrated throughout by John Minton. Light soiling to text block, otherwise clean. Dust wrapper chipped at edges. Covered in protective mylar. Buff linen cloth covered boards. Very good, in good dust wrapper. Item #3537
