Large Scale Catering by Maude Preece

Published in 1950 by Blandford Press, Large Scale Catering is a charming look at cooking for a sizeable crowd with recipes in this book 'deliberately ill-treated, kept waiting, plated and so on,' to be able to 'stand up to most difficulties in emergency.' So rest assured - if you get your timings all wrong your dish will still taste good (possibly).

Every page is beautifully laid out in a refreshingly simple way

Recipes range from soups, to fish dishes and meat, vegetarian dishes, sweets and cakes, plus what to do with left overs, and more

First edition, rare and hard to find

Age-related wear to book. Chipping to dust jacket
