Charcuterie & French Pork Cookery was produced with the intention of inspiring English housewives to 'intimidate their butchers into providing them with the right bits and pieces of pork'. Never before had amateur cooks been shown the history of pig in cuisine and the many different ways to cook it.
When published in America, Julia Child and James Beard declared it the 'best cook book of the year.'
Age-related chips, creasing and tanning to dust jacket. Some minor staining to pages
