THE ENGLISH-ARABIC COOKERY BOOK
Beirut: Dar-al-Hayat, 1950. First Edition. Wraps. Fascinating glimpse into mid-20th century expatriate and regional cuisine. As the author notes in her preface, this book "is the result of thirty years residence in the Middle East, during which the study and practice of the cookery of different nationalities has been my hobby." The recipes are presented in English and Arabic, and accompanied by advertisements for Lebanese and Western food purveyors and appliances. Octavo: 239, [17] pp. Original printed green paper wrappers. Typical toning to the contents, with some light fading and wear along the extremities of the wrappers; otherwise very good. Not in Bitting or Cagle. Very good. Item #80345
