THE BED-BOOK OF EATING AND DRINKING

Further amenities from a favorite author, this time of mastication, meditation, and libations, that will evoke mouthwatering memories of pre-ration days, as well as inspire experiments in the home cooking field. Food and liquid lore, inter-speread with pungent commentary, useless, but entertaining historical, anecdotal, etymological and plenty of the author's own many-faceted personality. A full year, day by day, makes this reading to be taken in small doses, and often returned to. Not a cookbook, but filled with recipes, suggestions for variations, and culinary ideas that are out of the ordinary.
