ELSIE DE WOLFE'S Recipes FOR SUCCESSFUL DINING
New York: D. APPLETON-CENTURY COMPANY, 1935. Hardcover. 102 pages. 19.5 x 13 cm. Elsie de Wolfe was known for her taste - taste in design, taste in travel, taste in food, and taste in how to live life. As she state in the beginning of this book: "This is not a cookery book at all. It is rather a selection of dishes known and unknown - the results of many years of traveling in many lands and in many out-of-the-way place; of making friends with interesting and interested maîtres d'hôtels; of amusing adventures, instructive in many ways that were not culinary and better than any lesson in geography I have ever had in school. It is a book, I hope, that may prove of aid to the distracted hostess. Includes: Advice for Serving Wine, Decorating the Table, Menus, and Recipes. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. Page 91 is torn with half the page missing. Boards heavily rubbed. Red cloth covered boards, black title. Good. Item #4819
