Description: My mother was married in 1948, and this book was given to her as a wedding gift. For a long time, I think it was the only cookbook she owned. I had "children's cook books" when young, but this was the book I learned to cook real food from. The breadth of knowledge in this book is astounding. It is truly an encyclopedia. Starting from "A", "A LA MODE", and continuing all the way through "Z": "ZYTHRUM (an ancient beverage made from malt and wheat; a kind of beer.). It encompasses foods you will have never heard of; national cuisines and their best dishes; a glossary of cooking terms; in short, anything and everything to do with food and its preparation is included here. And the illustrations/pictures are numerous and in color. Want a potato dish that is different? This book has 55 recipes for potato dishes. From all over the world. The layout is not fancy; just a recipe and short description, but until you hold this book in your hands, you will not understand how unique it is. I learned a lot of what I still mentally use today from this book; and it is time to make sure it finds a home where it is appreciated. By the way, this is an encyclopedia, and eminently readable for enjoyment as well as recipes.
