*************************

"CHAFING DISH COOKERY IS ONCE AGAIN VERY MUCH IN VOGUE--AS IT WAS IN EARLY COLONIAL AMERICA IN THE 1720'S. ONLY TODAY THERE ARE VARIOUS SIZES AND SHAPES OF CHAFING DISHES, WITH ALL SORTS OF HEATING DEVICES, INCLUDING CANDLES, ALCOHOL LAMPS AND ELECTRIC UNITS.  AND ALL CAN BE USED FOR SPONTANEOUS COOKING --MORNING, NOON OR  NIGHT!"

"SOME OF THE RECIPES SELECTED IN THIS BOOK ARE COMPLETE MEALS IN THEMSELVES.  OTHERS NEED ADDITIONAL TRIMMINGS.  BUT THE EDITOR HAS ENDEAVORED TO SELECT THOSE RECIPES WITH INGREDIENTS WHICH EVERY HOSTESS KEEPS ON HAND SO AS NOT TO SEND HER OFF TO THE STORE FOR LAST MINUTE FILL INS."

"THE FUN IN OWNING A CHAFING DISH IS IN USING IT OFTEN! THE MORE YOU USE IT THE MORE YOU WILL WANT TO USE IT, AND YOU WILL FIND THAT COOKING CAN CONTINUE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR TELEVISION SET AND YOU WON'T MISS A THING!"

"THE SUGGESTION OF PLACING YOUR CHAFING DISH ON A ROLLING TEA WAGON HAS BEEN MADE.  THEN YOUR PATIO OR GARDEN CAN BECOME YOUR KITCHEN INDEED, AND YOU WILL BE THE RARE HOSTESS WHO CAN SPEND ALL HER TIME WITH HER GUESTS---WHILE THEY WATCH AND EVEN HELP WITH THE COOKING."

THIS BOOK IS IN GOOD CONDITION.  THE DUSTJACKET IS COMPLETE WITH LIGHT SOILING, EDGE CREASES AND SMALL RIPS.  THE COVER IS CLEAN, EDGES AND CORNERS GENTLY BUMPED AND SCRAPED.  THE BINDING TIGHT AND ALL PAGES CLEAN AND INTACT.  THERE IS SOME LIGHT FOXING.  A NICE COPY WITH GREAT ILLUSTRATIONS AND 51 PAGES.
