Known for its authoritative and comprehensive collection of recipes, this is an essential addition to any kitchen and has become an invaluable source of information for every enthusiastic cook. Published in 1956, when both Constance Spry and Rosemary Hume were among the greatest names in cookery writing, it took three years to produce.

Their aim was to offer a supremely practical book with chapters covering kitchen processes, soups and sauces, through vegetables, meat, poultry and game to cold dishes and pastry making.

In fact everything every cook, or aspiring cook, would need to know. That the book has been so popular for over half a century is a true testament to how successfully they achieved their aim.

This is a deluxe slipcased edition with foil embossing on the cover and slip case and the book has colour tipped pages. 

1069 pages, 16pp line drawings, A LARGE BOX SET AND SHRINKWRAPPED. WEIGHS 2.5 KG!
