More or Less

This is one of my favorite cookbooks; I’ve had it since 1969 when the Hammermill Paper Company sent it out as a Christmas present to publishing customers like my father. It is, I think, fairly rare; I can only locate a couple other copies.

it’s written in a wry tone
and contains remarkably sophisticated recipes.
Tomorrow, a few gems from the Less Cookbook…

Wow, these are so cool to look at! Thank you for sharing them. I look forward to seeing the less version. What hidden gems….
What a neat set of books and cookbooks to boot. Have to admit I am not rushing out to get any eels. What a clever concept. I’ll bet you’re glad you hung onto them.
