Beard on Food

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £22.34
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

"Here is James Beard at his best: relaxed, savoring food memories of the past, ranging over Earthy Subjects, indulging in Whims of Taste, aroused to new Inspirations and Improvisations, pondering over the peculiarities of the American palate, sharing his latest gastronomic adventures -- people, places, travel -- and always coming up with the perfect recipe to cap the occasion. Here, in a rich plum pudding of a book, is Beard's own selection of his famous columns -- columns that have been devoured for the past four years by those fortunate enough to have them in their local papers (dozens of them, from Hartford to Memphis to Tacoma). Here, in short, is 'Beard on Food! Use this wonderfully provocative cooking book in a new way. The over 200 recipes -- easily spotted in green type -- are doubly seductive because they flow out of whatever subject has engaged Beard's fancy. This, then, is a book that stimulates in a way that no ordinary collection of recipes can. Every page is generously informed with Beard's intimate knowledge of and clear sensuous pleasure in his material that the reader's appetite is immediately refreshed."--
