BOULESTIN, Marcel (1877-1943) Eggs One-Hundred-&-Twenty Ways of Cooking by X. M. Boulestin & A. H. Adair. London: William Heinemann Ltd 1932. 1st Edition. 8vo (185x124m), xii, 71pp. Good. Original brown paper covered with black and red text on the front board and black advertisements on the rear board. Marks in pen and pencil on the front board, minor splitting of the paper covering on the spine. Pages lightly foxed but otherwise clean and the paper is in good condition. Signed by a previous owner on the free endpage. 1st edition of a book from one of the chefs hailed with popularising French cooking in the English-speaking world. Boulestin opened his eponymous restaurant in London in 1927 and immediately aimed high, making it the most expensive restaurant in the city at the time. Boulestin's impact within the culinary world is wideranging, with culinary legend Elizabeth David citing his work as an inspiration. Boulestin published prolifically, capitalising on his success, particularly in the 1930s. This work was published alongside other books which aimed to provide the public with high number of recipes for everyday meals including What Shall We Have To-Day? 365 Recipes for All the Days of the Year and Potatoes: One Hundred & One Ways of Cooking. His writing partner in these works was his business and life partner A. H. Adair, an Irishman born in Malta to a military family. This copy is in good condition but has clearly been well used in the past. We particularly like "Chipolata Sausages" written on the cover in child's handwriting - perhaps a review of the best way to have eggs.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Calvin, Marisa (designer); (illustratore). 1st Edition.

"Christmas is all about a story, the story of a baby born to humble parents in a tiny Bethlehem stable under a brilliant eastern star -- a story that changed the world forever. So it comes as no surprise that some of Guideposts magazine's greatest stories about about Christmas, and how people are inspired and lives are changed at this blessed time of year. For there is a resonance from that birth that echoes through time and through our very hearts. Every story in this collection is proof of the enduring power of that first Christmas, true personal accounts of transformation told by ordinary people . and not -so-ordinary people. You will read about blessings, traditions, forgiveness, love, faith, giving, miracles, and angles. All the themes that make this season truly holy. Have you ever felt lonely at Christmas? Widower Jimmy Gupton did, until he took in a struggling young married couple with a baby on the way. Jimmy learned that there is always room at the inn, and always a reason to go on living. A copywriter who yearns to give gifts that really mean something has her prayer answered in a way she could have never imagined. A single mom struggling to raise two young daughters discovers the power of a puppy to soothe hurting hearts. A firefighter's vivid and disturbing dream saves a family from death on Christmas Eve. Then there is the account of a mysterious disappearance of the Christ Child from the manger scened at Victory Church. Who could have done such a thing? You'll be surprised to find out. I was. Almost as surprised as I was to learn how writer Kitty Slattery's missing tooth led her to a deeper understanding of the Christmas spirit. There are familiar names too. Hollywood legend Jimmy Stewart will tell you why it really is "a wonderful life" and what that classic holiday movie meant to him on the most personal level. Celebrated ornament-maker Christopher Radko introduces you to his Polish grandmother and explains how the desire not to disappoint her led him to design his first beautiful creations. Beloved actor Michael Landon talks about the angels in his life, human and otherwise. My favorite holiday stories, though, come from our "His Mysterious Ways" feature -- year in and year out the most popular page in the magazine. Here you will meet people from all walks of life who have experienced something inexplicable, even miraculous, at Christmastime -- incredible stories that will send a shiver down your spine and warm your heart as well. This book is filled with stories you will never forget from the little magazine that has inspired millions of readers for sixty years. So go ahead, start reading, and find out why Guideposts is America's favorite magazine, especially at Christmas. -- Edward Grinnan, editor-in-chief, Guideposts." -- from the Foreword.
