Eat, Drink and be Merry in Maryland: An Anthology from a Great Tradition
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, (1932). Endpaper map and drawings throughout by Edwin Tunis. Full cloth. Octavo. xxiv, 326 pages.
The classic collection of old Maryland recipes for everything from oysters, crabs, terrapin and fowl, to breads, cakes, puddings, beverages and desserts. Each of the 500 plus recipes in Frederick Stieff's collection was collected from its source and not simply lifted from prior publications--unless that publication was over 100 years old.
Well executed drawings by Edwin Tunis, though some are racially insensitive by today's standards. Endpapers illustrated with Tunis's "Ye Gastronomick Mappe of ye Maryland Free State."
A lovely copy of this classic in its uncommon dust jacket.
