What a wonderful work. It must have taken many arduous years to complile the type of historical material that can be found in this collection. The original illustrations add greatly to the well laid out recipies accompanying the various methods and ingredients for the time period. What a shame this volume is out of Print (Hint.) No self respecting Chef should be without this key Historial work!
