Fashions in Foods, 1931. Foreward by Will Rogers.

Description

Fashions in Foods in Beverly Hills: Cookbook compiled by the Book Section, Beverly Hills Woman’s Club, Beverly Hills, California. Humorous foreword by Will Rogers. This copy is from the 1931 third edition. I think the 1929 printing must have been a small run, and the 1930 and ’31 runs were much larger. Printed in Beverly Hills by the Beverly Hills Citizen.
