This rare first edition of Alice Waters first book, The Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook is an indispensable edition to the shelf of every home cook, culinary reader and collector. A collection of 120 of the adored restaurants best menus - with dishes redolent of the savoury bouquet of the garden, the aromas and roasty flavours of food cooked over the charcoal, and the delicate sweetness of fish fresh from the sea. There are menus here for different seasons of the year, for picnics and outdoor barbecues and other occasions. The illustrations are as exquisite as the recipes and writing. 

Hardcover, original cloth with slight sunning, with no dust jacket. In excellent second hand condition aside from a very few pages that have discoloured and worn a few splats.
