LUSTIG, Lillie S., SONDHEIM, Claire, and RENSEL, Sarah. The Southern Cook Book of Fine Old Recipes. Reading, Pennsylvania: Culinary Arts Press, 1935. Octavo, staple-bound, original paper wrappers, original dust jacket; pp. 48. $650.

First edition of this collection of 322 recipes, illustrated by H. Charles Kellum with "40 characteristic illustrations."

"You will find here, published for the first time in book form, we believe, the truly amazing recipe for "Kentucky Burgoo," and the celebrated recipe for "Pot Likker," which is a familiar dish in almost every part of the South, particularly in the homes of the poor white and the negro. We believe this book to contain a remarkable cross-section of fine recipes and we hope you will find it a valuable aid in your culinary efforts."

Book fine, original dust jacket with only mild soiling. Unusual in this condition.
