RARE! 1929 The International Cook Book | by Margaret Weimar Heywood | Rare Yellow Hardcover | Vintage International Cooking | Bixley Shop

The International Cookbook compiled and written by Margaret Weimer Heywood in cooperation with World Famous Chefs was originally published in 1929. This edition is not dated, but based on the photography and condition of the book, we believe it is likely a subsequent edition from the 1930s. And it appears to be a RARE version of the book with YELLOW, silver-embossed hardcovers.

The subtitle describes it as "Totally Different and Complete with Suggested Menus, rules for Proper Table Service, an abundance of Practical Recipes for every need, Famous International Recipes, all Home Tested, Cookery Technique and Complete Indexing." The author collaborated with 56 chefs from around the world to create an international experience for American families right in their own home.
