Item description from seller

Dust jacket condition: Good. Inscribed and SIGNED by author. Soil, tanning and several chips to jacket. Text free of highlighting and writing. Tightly bound. From the horse-and-hound country of Virginia to the rugged backwoods of northern Canada, from Morocco to upper New York State, the author has energetically pursed the 'good life' - garnering a hoard of exotic experiences, each intimately and unforgettably connected with delicious food . This book represents the fruit of his travels: a banquet of more than 350 recipes collected over the years, now gathered into this challenging and instructive and highly entertaining autobiographical cookbook. Ranging from the simple to the elaborate, from the esoteric to the widely known, these recipes are presented for the most part as components of comlete regional menus, lovingly re-created for the reader along with 'that particular chapter of the author's life in which their personal meaning and happy use first arose." Here are the Basque dishes, from Ouliat (a traditional soup of the region) to Basque Cake with Plum Foot, adapted from a cookbook compiled by Les Amis de la Liberation Basque. Heavenly spaghetti recipes are included in memory of a World War I Atlantic crossing in an Italian refugee ship; and there are recipes from the very different northern Italian cuisine that the author came to know after World War II. Crab Imperial Baltimore comes from the Maryland Jockey Club, and Seafood Crepes, Boeuf au Poivre, and Peaches, Meuse River were inspired by the Cordon Bleu-trained chef of a country restaurant in Belgium around 1950. Livingston has explored the the philosophies and techniques behinds dozens of schools in cookery. 498 pages.
