8vo., First Edition, with a frontispiece and 7 plates, title and three following leaves lightly browned; original brown cloth , upper board and backstrip blocked and lettered in black, an unusually bright, clean copy. In the 1920s Ward Lock produced a series of themed recipe books based on Beeton's best-selling BHM. This is (we believe) the fourth of eight such titles published between 1924 and 1925. Most of the series continued to be reissued as increasingly independent collections in their own right; some were themselves later amalgamated producing a complex bibliography.
