With the advent of celebrity chefs and bestselling cookbooks, there has never been a time when cookery has played such a large part in so many people's lives. Never has it been more appropriate to publish Recipes for Disaster. This collection uncovers catering calamities from all over the world; including amusing misprints in advice columns and recipes, truc stories of restaurants resembling Fawlty Towers, hilarious advertising campaigns, unfortunate food-related incidents and bizarre regional specialities. For eggsample, in the sixties, readers of the Observer were encouraged to: 'Buy really good eggs, preferably from hens that you know, one per person.' Or consider the waiter who dealt with a complaint by simply popping the offending article into his mouth and exclaiming 'This is not a cockroach, it is a delicious onion.' Contains amusing illustrations throughout.

Vendeur : Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, Royaume-Uni
hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
