Jacket. First Edition. NY: Duell, Sloan & Pearce, [1941].
Food historian Sheila Hibben lays out the fundamentals of cooking technique in her book, A Kitchen Manual, with chapters on carving, soup making, fish cookery, poultry, game and meat, sauces, vegetables, a guide to marketing, and combinations of flavor and texture. A very interesting and forward-thinking book for its time. Long closed tear repaired with tape to front jacket panel, heavy chipping to jacket spine ends, else good - a scarce and desirable book.
