The Dinner Party Cook Book by the Sunset Magazine Editorial Staff | 1962 Vintage Cookbook | Mid-Century Party Planning Cookbook (Copy)

"Sugar and spice and all things nice. That and much more is what this book is made of. The Spice Cookbook is not "just another cook book." It is a significant contribution to the important literature on the art of cooking... The Spice Cookbook is a world atlas that carries the reader to far-flung islands and to remote areas of many continents. It reveals the world of trade from the earliest system of barter to the highly competitive market of today... But above all, it is a superb cookbook." 

So says the Foreword to this impressive culinary work by Avanelle Day and Lillie Stuckey. The Spice Cookbook provides a history of herbs and spices from around the world, along with close to 600 pages of recipes!

A wonderful gift for anyone interested in the culinary arts and use of herbs and spices.
