De Salis, Harriet A. Sweets & Supper Dishes a la Mode | Vintage Cookbook for Classic Desserts & Elegant Dinner Recipes | Perfect for Home Chefs & Dinner Parties

Navy cloth-backed dec. cream boards. Second Edition. London: Longmans, Green, 1889.

First published in 1888, a Scottish reviewer described this title: "The recipes, we are told in a short preface, have been compiled from all sources, and are varied now and again by an original conception. So far as a few practical tests can show, they are faultless; and wives and housekeepers cannot to better than add to their books on cookery this little tastefully-bound volume, which is offered at the small charge of eighteenpence.” Minor rubbing to spine ends & extremities; owner's name & date of 1890 to front free endpaper, else very good.
