Product Description

1,183 pp. Illus. with 800 engravings. Blue engraved cloth stamped in silver, with design of a breakfast tray. Chicago: Hotel Monthly Press, 1920. 

Warmly inscribed & signed by restaurateur Alice Waters to Chez Panisse's occasional organic produce provider and sometime cook John Hudspeth, on a front flyleaf. Charles Ranhofer was the chef at Delmonico's, New York's first and perhaps most beloved restaurant. At 1183 pages, the volume is massive and encyclopedic, with hundreds of reproduced menus as well as cooking instructions and recipes. 

Mild rubbing to extremities, otherwise a very good, solid copy, with a great restaurateur association!
