About this product

Product Information

The Fireside Cook Book is designed for people who are not content to regard food just as something one transfers periodically from plate to mouth. It is for those who recognize that a simple family meal (as well as a dress-up dinner party) can be a pleasure and a special event. The wide variety of I-can't-wait-to-try-it dishes in the book are presented according to a new and different theory. You will find here no attempt to overwhelm the cook with all the recipes ever concocted. Instead, you will find clear, easy-to-follow instructions for the basic preparation of every food, followed in each case by fascinating variations. The basic recipes and variations add up to 1,217 tested dishes -- simple enough for the novice, delicious enough for the most meticulous master chef, complete enough for the most imaginative menus without a repetition. A detailed chapter is devoted to the art of outdoor cookery, another to the preparation of hors d'oeuvres, cocktail snacks, and supper snacks. There is an entire section of suggested menus subdivided into cold weather meals and summer doldrum hints. There is also a complete section on wines and liquors. The 36 full-color pictures and the nearly 400 other color pictures are themselves full of helpful invention. Handsome double-page spreads employ visual-aid methods to give practical details about, and special uses of, cuts of meat, varieties of wine, and types of fish. Here, in short, is a book that is an indispensable addition to every American home in which good food is appreciated. It is a book to use constantly, to pore over with delight, and give to all friends from whom you can reasonably expect a future dinner invitation.

    Lovely reprint of a cooking classic

    The Fireside Cookbook 60th-anniversary edition brings me back to my childhood. My mother had the 1st edition (I still own that much-used volume), and I loved the charming illustrations, by the husband/wife team of Alice and Martin Provensen, which inspired me to draw and become an illustrator. This book was nicely packaged and in perfect condition. I’m thrilled to have it.

    Great Recipes, Information & Pictures

    This is a fun, useful and usable cookbook with wonderful drawings, broad variety of “I-can’t-wait-to-try” recipes with clear instructions, relative how-to instructions and truly for the beginner, expert and the in between! This particular copy arrived in good time, in more new condition than used or like new.
