Essential text; mandelbrodt, pancakes, pot roast.
A cookbook that assumes a certain level of culinary sophistication and skill of its user -- sort of the opposite of the Moosewood books. An interesting and inspiring cookbook.

This book is just what it says it is: Whistler's Mother's cook book.
MacDonald (ed.), Margaret. Whistler's Mother's Cook Book. NY : G.P. Putnam, 1979. 1st Edition. Sm. 8vo. VG/VG.
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.
Hodgman, Ann (Roz Chast, illus.) . One Bite Won't Kill You. NY : Houghton Mifflin, . 1st pb Edition. Sq. 8vo. VG in wraps.
Not exactly a cookbook for kids (though there are many recipes in here that a young person could prepare, with assistance), this is one of the funniest and most encouraging book about feeding picky eaters that Miss Edith has ever seen. Hodgman understands that different people — of all ages — have different food crotchets, and she caters to most of them here. Chapters about breakfast, vegetables, holiday meal disasters (the kid who won’t eat turkey, stuffing, onions, or squash who sits down at your Thanksgiving table… and how to handle him) cover almost every contingency, with Hodgman’s dependable good humor, practical tone, and affection for cured and smoked pork products. Roz Chast’s illustrations complement Hodgman’s book as well as Fritos complement a bologna and cheese sandwich.
