(*NEW ARRIVAL*) (Connecticut) Come and Dine: A Collection of Valuable Receipts and Useful Information for Gratuitous Distribution

$200.00

[1] ad pg., 167, [1] ad pg. Illus. throughout with ads. Gilt-lettered pebbled purple cloth. First Edition. New Haven, CT: Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor, 1872.

Replete with wonderful pictorial ads for local businesses. This community cookbook does not make clear who the authors or intended benefactors were, but there are a generous number of recipes for popular New England dishes of the day: Newport omelet, Aunt Sina's sponge cake, scollops [sic], eels, trout, sausages, goose, turkey, and numerous baked goods. Spine and joints well-chipped and repaired, rubbing to extremities; a few marginal ink scratches, mild foxing, else fair. Scarce.
