The Flavor of France in Recipes and Pictures (The Chamberlains)

Hastings House, New York, 1978. Hardcover with dust jacket.

French regional cooking meets armchair travel in this collection of recipes by Narcissa and Narcisse Chamberlain, accompanied by Samuel Chamberlain’s photographs. Bringing the original two volumes together (the first dedicated to classic french dishes and the second to regional specialties) in a single edition, it pairs the pleasures of home cooking with a visual portrait of the country. An inviting book for anyone whose curiosity about France begins at the table.

Dust jacket has Scotch tape at the lower left corner of the front panel, two closed tears on the back panel, and tiny chips at the spine. Interior pages are bright and clean. Binding sound.
