praktikai kai dedokimasmenai
syntagai dia ten paraskeuen phageton kai glykismaton : sylloge duo
chiliadon (2,000) syntagon eis
ten Helleniken kai Angliken" The author (described on the title page
"Archimageiron" ) has assembled
a collection of 2000 or so recipes, in Greek and English, evidently
for the use of Greek restauranteurs
in the USA . It lists all kinds of ingredients and sauces and recipes
that can be combined in assorted
ways to provide different dishes from soups to desserts to create
varied daily menus. In the centre
is a section printed on blue paper with sample menu "Bill of Fares"
listing choices of dishes and
possible price ranges (A Regular Dinner for only 35 cents, or a
"Table d'Hote" selection for 75 cents ! )
A nice slice of Greek American culinary and social history ! Book is
clean and tight, except for the
endpapers which appear to have beeen used as a notepad by a previous owner
( named as "James Glaros" of Donora PA). Very Good.
