Cook It Outdoors
New York: M. Barrows and Company, 1941. First Edition. Hardcover. 200 pages. 21 x 14 cm. Beard's second book - a groundbreaking volume that helped define a whole genre of outdoor and barbecue cookbooks. This volume was marketed explicitly as a man's book written by a man who understands healthy outdoor eating and cooking habits - suggesting a successful marriage lets "the husband control the fire, and the wife the kitchen." A series of hamburger variations is one of the book's signatures reflecting Beard's West Coast background. Straightforward recipes for grilled steaks and chops, along with other open-fire meats meant for charcoal or outdoor brick grills. Interior crisp and clan. Boards very lightly rubbed at corners. Green illustrated cloth covered boards. Near fine. Item #4929
