Seller: Last Exit Books, Charlottesville, VA, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condition: Good+. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Crown Publishers, New York. 1951. 224 pgs. Illustrated with Black and White Plates. Bound in blue cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities (spine is faded and worn). No ownership marks. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Volume One of Baker's two-volume set "The South American Gentleman's Companion: Being an Exotic Cookery and Drinking Book", originally published in 1939 by The Derrydale Press. Volume One is concerned exclusively with food recipes. Charles Henry Baker, Jr. (1895-1987) was an American author best known for his culinary and cocktail writings. These books have become highly collectible among cocktail aficionados and culinary historians. Baker spent much of his life traveling the world and chronicling food and drink recipes for magazines like "Esquire", "Town & Country", and "Gourmet", for which he wrote a column during the 1940s called "Here's How". "Condé Nast" contributing writer St. John Frizell wrote, "It's his prose, not his recipes, that deserves a place in the canon of culinary literature . At times humorously grandiloquent, at times intimate and familiar, Baker fills his stories with colorful details about his environment and his drinking companions - Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner among them". EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
