First published in 1940 and now back in print with a new preface by Christine Schwartz Hartley and foreword by editor Graydon Carter, this charming little French-American cookbook, a collection of recipes by noteworthy writers, Hollywood and Broadway celebrities, renowned socialites, royalty—and even a couturier and restaurateur or two—is available again.
This edition is an exact facsimile of the original, down to the red and white cloth gingham case, but with a new preface about the book’s history, and Carter’s essay. There’s also a select bibliography of contributors—from Katharine Hepburn and Christian Dior to Eleanor Roosevelt and Charlie Chaplin—created especially for today’s reader. An affordable, adorable package is a great gift for cooks of all levels, francophiles, and pop-culture mavens alike. An instant collectible!
