(Salad) Muckenstrum, Louis. Louis' Salads & Chafing Dishes.

$85.00

Green vignettes and borders throughout. 9.75x4.75", pictorial boards, jacket. First Edition. NY: Dodge Publishing, [1906].

A charming and gorgeous Art Nouveau book design, with recipes for all sorts of salads and things to do with a chafing dish. Because these recipes were written before mass-transportation and freezing, most are natural and appealing to today's palate: melba sandwiches, salsifis salad, cucumbers fine herbs, salade aux sardines, strawberries au Kirsch, pears au vin blanc, gooseberry fool, etc. Rubbing to spine ends, chipping to jacket extremities, else very good and bright; scarce in jacket.
