What I really like was that so many of the recipes have no measurements (apparently a bon vivant couldn't be bothered with such petty details).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974967562144177466.post-17597018185904715432012-01-31T20:19:32.367-08:002012-01-31T20:19:32.367-08:00What a fantastic cookbook.

Some of the recipes are fairly complex, but it's presented in a fun and entertaining way.

So interesting to see a vintage cookbook aimed at men - Mad Men suggests it was either 'Your mum cooks', 'Your wife cooks' or 'You eat out'.<br /><br />The illustrations are amazing, what a brilliant find.Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping]https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247624645636227130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974967562144177466.post-28267952921481100652012-01-24T08:34:48.504-08:002012-01-24T08:34:48.504-08:00Thanks for all the comments, it looks like I can a...Thanks for all the comments, it looks like I can actually add my own now too! Yes, the butcher drawings were enough to reel me in, but the whole book is just full of these gorgeous illustrations!<br /><br />I've seen some copies of these go for pretty cheap on Ebay. I wonder if people cut them up and frame the illustrations.SixBalloonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07310882196596088575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974967562144177466.post-85770820107084524172012-01-24T00:31:36.081-08:002012-01-24T00:31:36.081-08:00What a gorgeous book.
