Description

More Recipes by Gladys Guggenheim Straus, 1951, Heiress, Nutrition Expert and Co-Founder of Gourmet Magazine: See Straus’s abbreviated biography here: Gladys Guggenheim Straus Gladys Straus must have been a marvel. Scan that little bio and see if you’ve accomplished half as much! (Of course, she had servants.) This little cookbook must have been a small side project. But the recipes are miraculous! I should probably charge you much more, since there are no other copies on the internet at all. However, the cover of this cookbook has completely escaped the rest of the book. Makes it difficult. The book itself, with the exception of the cover, is nearly mint. 91 pages, all clean with no annoying spots. Cover is that textured heavy black paper that shows up sometimes in office books. Red plastic comb binding is in perfect shape.

These recipes are simply elegant, but don’t seem too difficult to make. The dessert recipes are sophisticated, like Profiteroles au Chocolate or Pear and Apricot Tart. She’s included many fish recipes. Each one makes me hungrier than the last, such as Truite Meuniere or Truite Normandie or Trout en Papillottes. And she tells you how to make you never find anywhere else, like coffee essence and meringue shells (no, they don’t just come from the grocery.)

I’ll be sorry to see this little book go.
