If you enjoy cooking fancy foods, then this is the cookbook for you. The cookbook is titled "James Beard’s Menus For Entertaining" by famed James A. Beard. Delacorte Press of New York published the book. It is a First Edition with a 1965 copyright!
James Beard (1903-1985) wrote many books on cooking during his career. He was the first to publish a major cookbook exclusively dedicated to cocktail food. The book was Hors d’Oeuvres & Canapes that was published in 1940.
Mr. Beard became known as "The Father of American Gastronomy" and his name remains synonymous with American food.
The book has gold panels throughout it with menu suggestions.
Some of the wonderful recipes included in this book:
1. Pacific Shrimp Appetizer
2. Rice With Chopped Chives And Parsley
3. Onion And Orange Salad
4. Terrine Of Duckling
5. Sweetbreads Albert
6. Macaroni Parisienne
7. Double Chicken Consomme, Jellied
8. Souffle Glace Grand Marnier
9. And many more
Someone took very good care of this book! The outer paper cover has some wear to the edges and there are a copy of pieces missing as you can see from the photo. There is some very minor wear to the hardback cover on the edges and corners. The interior pages are "like new" and extremely clean – no writing or dog-ears. This is a large book with 398 pages including the indexes.
I also have one other James Beard cookbooks listed in my shop: The New James Beard.
Please include $3.75 for Media Mail shipping in the U.S. Add an additional $1.65 if you would like the shipment insured.
