	The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book, written by Alice B. Toklas and illustrated by Sir Francis Rose. First American edition, published in 1954 by Harper and Brothers, New York. Hard cover with dust jacket, 288 pages. This book is a true artifact of American history, as Miss Toklas lived with Gertrude Stein on Paris' Left Bank, as a member of the Lost Generation. However, it is also an excellent cookbook! Toklas gives us more than 350 recipes for meals that you can serve, garnished with her juicy bits of literary history! Both the book and the dust jacket are in FINE condition. Alice B. Toklas Cook Book, First U.S. Edition
	Venus in the Kitchen or Love's Cookery Book, by Pilaff Bey (actually, Norman Douglas.) Introduction by Graham Greene. Published by The Viking Press, New York, 1953. Hard cover, 192 pages. First edition. A wonderfully funny, light hearted cookbook about cooking to further romantic pursuits. AND, the recipes are excellent, all for dishes that you would cook for your lover. Near fine condition. Just a bit of dust here and there. I don't think this book has ever been used. I have the dust jacket, and it is in good condition, too! Enjoy! (Marked down from $50.00.) Venus in the Kitchen Love's Cookery Book

	First edition of James Beard's Menus for Entertaining, published in 1965 by Delacorte Press, New York.

Special sections for ladies only affairs, summer dinners, dinners to prepare, alcoholic beverages, etc. I've heard that people find James Beard's recipes are too difficult, but these seem to me to be clearly and crisply written. Hard cover, moderately oversized, 398 pages. This is an expensively published book, with thick paper, many end papers, etc. You'll enjoy it. Dust jacket went to a war, but the book is in fine condition. James Beard's Menus for Entertaining First!
