(*NEW ARRIVAL*) Lindsey Remolif Shere. Chez Panisse Desserts. *Signed*

Preface by Alice Waters. Illus. with drawings by Wayne Thiebaud. 9x7", pictorial jacket. First Edition. NY: Random House, [1985].

Warmly inscribed & signed by Lindsey and Charles Shere to their friend Beatrice, to whom Charles writes, "In souvenir of a delightful summer afternoon, my wife's desserts as typed all out by me."

Lindsey Shere, pastry chef at Chez Panisse since 1971, shares recipes for basic pastries, cookies, cakes, and creams grouped around their dominant ingredient -- from apples and berries to dried fruits, chocolate, wine, and spirits. The subtle, surprising results complement seasonal menus.

3" closed tear to lower front jacket panel, otherwise very good and bright; scarce signed.
