Community Cookbook: The Washington Cookbook, Volume I (The Washington Opera)

The Washington Opera, Washington DC, 1982. Softcover with comb binding. Third printing. 

Assembled by the Women's Committee of the Washington Opera. Recipes include U.S. House of Representatives Bean Soup ("Straight from the House Restaurant kitchen...hearty, zesty and filling."), Elizabeth Taylor's Roast Chicken, and Chef Jean Louis Palladin's Salon Steaks with Golden Caviar and Parsley Sauce. A who's who of DC high society and a throwback to a time when support of DC's art institutions was a bipartisan affair. 

Some light scuffing visible on front and back covers and some staining on a handful of interior pages. Otherwise a bright and clear copy.
