I came across this delightful little book some years ago and thought that I would share a bit of it with friends. Copies of it are available from time to time from used book dealers.

I think the illustrations are charming. Each of the recipes in the sections represented below has a different version of the image running around the border of the page.

I hope I'm not infringing on any copyright by sharing this much of the book on the Web,
but it is out-of-print and not easily purchased. If I have inadvertently infringed on
anyone's rights to this material, please contact me at LRampey@panix.com.
