Illus. by Anna Shapiro. Jacket. First Edition. NY: Knopf, 1988.
Colwin's classic food memoir with recipes became a beloved homage to the nostalgia food can evoke. From the humble hotplate of her one-room apartment to the crowded kitchens of bustling parties, Colwin regales us with tales of meals gone both magnificently well and disastrously wrong. Hilarious, personal, and full of Colwin’s hard-won expertise, Home Cooking will speak to the heart of any amateur cook, professional chef, or food lover. The author tragically died at the age of 48 from a heart attack.
Fine; scarce in first edition.
