1940ref. 4910New York: Published by and for the benefit of The New York Exchange for Woman's Work; Elert Printing Company Inc. 1940. Octavo-size 23 x 15 cm. 72 pages. Cover title: New York Woman's Exchange Presents Dining for Moderns. Advertisements inside covers and interspersed. FIRST EDITION. A community cookbook of sorts that is one compiled to benefit a cause but one aimed not at cooks but rather at gentlewomen who employ them. "The first rule to remember" instructs Irmgard Hackney Chairman ! of the Woman's Exchange Revue" concerns your cook. Don't make her nervous" preface page 5. The menus and recipes of Dining for Moderns were drawn from the first three years of the Revue 1938-1940; though the serial had begun life under the name Exchange Revue in 1936 an organ of a New York instantiation of the woman's exchange movement incorporated in November 1878. Originally established to benefit "women of cultivation in reduced circumstances" the Exchange prospered long its last store on East 60th Street closed in 2003 and became as well known in the middle decades of the last century for its restaurants as for its promotion of domestic arts and crafts by women. Irmgard Glinicke Mrs. George Edgar Hackney 1892-1976 perceived the need for a kind of manual for women with maids who must fulfill the duties of society hostess but do not particularly relish the role. "You'll be astonished how often you can repeat your dinners with only slight variations to fool your husband" in her case an investment analyst for a firm on the Stock Exchange. Patés canapés consumés Lobster Thermidor Noisette d'Agneau--a snapshot of the cuisine of philanthropic board members not of those in "reduced circumstances." The "wine notes" by Peter Greig –a name some may recall from the inaugural issue of Gourmet Magazine – might be only slightly unfairly summarized: "all that is necessary is to ask a wine merchant" page 6. A few marginal ink marks and some light spotting throughout; some pages have creases. In publisher's wire spiral-bound tan and burgundy stiff wrappers. Some rubbing to edges otherwise near very good.
