(*NEW ARRIVAL*) (Salads) Louis Muckenstrum. Louis' Salads & Chafing Dishes

Illus. with frontis. portrait of the author, and border vignettes in green. 10x5", pictorial tan wrappers. First Edition. Boston: H.M. Caldwell, [1906].

An elegantly designed Art Nouveau book with recipes for canapes, salads, sandwiches, and chafing dishes, along with instructions on making menus, and blank pages for adding your own recipes, to which someone has. The period manuscript recipes are in pencil, and include instructions for making linzer torte, fruit salad dressing, macaroon tarte, "donatella," and more. 

A fair copy, with blue markings to front cover, chipping to extremities; offset from clippings to various pages (clippings and manuscript recipes on loose sheets are laid-in). However, this much used copy was clearly loved and enjoyed by the owner, who neatly added their own recipes and clippings throughout.
