Description

A wonderful early 20th-century cookery book, Luncheon & Dinner Sweets Including the Art of Ice Making by renowned chef and cookery writer C. Herman Senn, published by Ward, Lock & Co.

Dedicated entirely to desserts and sweet dishes, the book contains a fascinating collection of period recipes including hot and cold puddings, creams, jellies, fruit dishes, elaborate desserts and traditional ice-making.

Illustrated throughout with period photographs showing some wonderfully elaborate dessert presentations, making this as interesting visually as it is as a piece of culinary history.

Bound in its original brown cloth boards with black lettering.

The book displays genuine age-related wear, including rubbing and marks to the cover, wear to the spine and corners, page toning, foxing and previous library/stock markings to the title page as photographed.

Please study the photographs carefully for overall condition.
