(*NEW ARRIVAL*) (Ships) War Shipping Administration. Cooking and Baking on Shipboard

Illus. with drawings and photographs. 11x8.25", black cloth lettered in red. First Edition. Washington, DC: War Shipping Administration, 1945.

Not only is this book fantastic, but there are five different Farewell Dinner menus laid-in loose from the USNS Bartlett, dated 1952, and a folding chart describing uniform requirements for stewards. Together, these comprise a thorough snapshot of wartime naval cooking, with chapters on meat cuts, sanitation, health, nutrition, and more. There's even an entire section on cupcakes!

Near fine.
