Our vividly illustrated Cookbook Book will fascinate food aficionados and history buffs alike. A visual collection of 125 cookbooks, it features photographs of classics such as The Joy of Cooking as well as more bizarre and obscure volumes like Les Dîners de Gala by surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. It also includes translations of recipes from each of the included cookbooks (like "Spanish Mackerel with Green Vegetables" from Housewife's Friend and "Breton Omelette" from Encyclopedia Culinaria, La Cocina Completa), making this oversized (8¾"x11¾") tome functional as well as beautiful. Experiment with tastes from the world over - and get a glimpse into cookbooks throughout the ages - without taking up too much precious shelf space!
