(International) Dorothy Stevens, ed. Table Talk and Tidbits: Stories and Recipes from Around the World

Illus. with woodcuts and maps. Silver-lettered reddish cloth. First Edition. Philadelphia: Judson Press, [1953].

A lovely book of food folklore and recipes contributed by writers from or familiar with those countries. Far flung places explored are Fiji, the Belgian Congo, Burma, the Philippines, Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti, Sweden, and many more. Numerous states in America are also described, with each spot's local traditions given its due. Irregular sunning to cloth, else very good.
