Never Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen

After a weekend which seemed a little heavy, a walk in the moonlight this morning left me in search of something beautiful to begin the week. Many of us in the GBC are cooks as well as readers. Even if you are not, this selection would be worthy as a conversation piece for your shelves. The Great Food Series published by Penguin Books is a collection of 20 titles with covers rumored to have been inspired by ceramics. The cookbooks span approximately 400 years of recipes with subjects ranging from simple meals to infantry cooking. The complete paperback set lists for £139.80 with each book sold separately at £6.99 and will be available in the US beginning October 25 from Amazon. The Well-Kept Kitchen by Gervase Markham is shown below; click here to view the entire set.
