About This Item
London: Arlington Books, 1965. [Cookery] FIRST EDITION. Octavo (26 x 17cm), pp.viii; 169 [3]. Publisher's brown cloth, gilt titles to spine, dark blue endpapers, dust-jacket. Illustrated with 15 double page drawings. Edges a little toned, binding lightly handled. Price clipped dust-jacket rubbed, creased and chipped to top and bottom edges, toned to spine with a closed horizontal tear to same, some spotting and marking. Very good. From the blurb: "A splendidly simple but practical, unashamedly luxurious cookery book and guide to entertaining for men... The Bachelor Chef teaches skill with sauces, daring with herbs and basic store cupboard tactics. Two important chapters show how to score with girls and how to deal promptly and efficiently with culinary disasters." Like much from the 1960's perhaps best taken with a generous pinch of salt.
