An interesting and inspiring cookbook. A beautiful copy; read, but handled with great care. No remainder mark; no annotations; not price clipped.

Eva Geertz For those of us who have a weakness for grilled cheese, crisp bacon, milkshakes, and (lord, forgive me) grilled donuts, this book will be a pleasure. It's not a cookbook per se, but it's a pictorial history of places where you can find some of the tastiest food in New England: diners. This book won't change your life, but it might increase your quality of life dramatically. Particularly if it inspires you to drive to your nearest greasy spoon and order up a grilled donut and some coffee. VG in paper wrappers. Beautiful. Signed by the author at half-title. The Canadian Joy of Cooking? tag:www.edithrye.com,2007://1.8 2000-11-30T05:00:00Z 2007-07-31T16:27:06Z A massive tome, sort of a Canadian version of The Settlement Cookbook by Mrs. Simon Kander, or the Rombauers' Joy of Cooking: a compilation of recipes from immigrant groups that settled across Canada, from China, Eastern Europe, and many other... Eva Geertz A massive tome, sort of a Canadian version of The Settlement Cookbook by Mrs. Simon Kander, or the Rombauers' Joy of Cooking: a compilation of recipes from immigrant groups that settled across Canada, from China, Eastern Europe, and many other places. An interesting perspective on a subject very familiar to American cookbook readers. Much as Mrs. Kander's cookbook documents how arrivals at a Wisconsin settlement house cooked, Mrs. Allen-Gray worked for many years as the Canadian equivalent, in Calgary, at the Citizenship Council, and her book describes in great detail the foods that settlers to the different regions of Canada adapted to their new homes. A special book, uncommon. (Given the weight of this book, shipping costs may be higher than listed. Edith Rye will be happy to discuss shipping options for this title.) 776 pp. Brightly colored dj edgeworn with old cellophane tape neatly reinforcing edges at spine, corners; some abrading, but generally a very handsome copy. Price neatly torn from front flap. Internally clean, tight. All color plates present. Weight Watchers Canasta tag:www.edithrye.com,2007://1.6 2000-11-30T05:00:00Z 2007-05-08T18:40:15Z What a trip this is: a canasta set published by the good people of Weight Watchers.... Eva Geertz What a trip this is: a canasta set published by the good people of Weight Watchers. A boxed card game. Original box abraded and rubbed but still pretty striking. Inside, a moss-green card holder cradles two decks of playing cards (still in shrink-wrap) and the instructions for playing Weight Watchers Canasta. "Three fascinating games for 1, 2, or 4 players -- Simple but challenging to play!" Probably not particularly useful but definitely a piece of American culinary and dietetic history. Whistler's Mother's Cook Book tag:www.edithrye.com,2007://1.5 2000-11-30T05:00:00Z 2007-08-03T00:18:42Z This book is just what it says it is: Whistler's Mother's cook book.... Eva Geertz This book is just what it says it is: Whistler's Mother's cook book. A nice copy, previously part of a seniors' program's library, with small abraded area on f.f.e.p. and faded stamp on top edge. DJ clipped but only very slightly edgeworn. A surprisingly solid square copy. Settlement Cookbook tag:www.edithrye.com,2007://1.4 2000-11-30T05:00:00Z 2007-08-03T00:21:36Z An essential text for anyone interested in American cookery.
