We have unloaded a whole lot of cookbooks. The most interesting of the lot is:
The Horizon Cookbook and Illustrated History of Eating and Drinking through the Ages, by the editors of the Horizon Magazine, and published American Heritage.
These are two hardcover volumes in a slipcase, all in wonderful condition. The first volume contains the illustrated history of cooking and eating. The second volume contains menus and recipes. The recipes have all been modernized, so you don't have to plant a garden to get the ingredients, or find an open hearth to do the cooking. (Thank heavens... It is getting pretty warm for open hearth cooking.)
Enjoy these books for $6. They can be found (surprise, surprise...) in the cooking section.
