More than 100 tested recipes from across the globe, gathered in a 1951 cookbook from the early years of the United Nations.
Edited by: The American Home Economics Association
Publisher: Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York
Copyright: First Edition, 1951
Format: Softcover (paperback), 59 pages
Dimensions: 8.5" × 5⅜"
Condition: Very good — ex-library copy, stamped as such, with the library card still inside; the pages have detached from the cover but are all still bound together with stitching; some folds, light tanning, and some writing on the first pages. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
This first edition is a mid-century cookbook of tested recipes from around the world, very good considering its age. Its ex-library stamp and library card are a charming trace of its past life.
A fun find for cookbook collectors and mid-century history enthusiasts.
The book was edited by the American Home Economics Association, founded in 1909 as the professional organization for home economists in the United States, and it appeared just six years after the United Nations itself was founded in 1945.
