For conditions, please view our photographs. A nice clean rare original book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. 

Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. 

                 Jack very much liked the simplicity of this book. 

Shows how to minimize the problems and maximize the effect of this family occasion with 20 special menus, ranging from a celebration lunch for two to a large mid-summer feast. Traditional English fare sits side by side with ideas from across the globe including French, North African, Scandinavian and Oriental. Summer buffets are complemented by hot winter warmers. There are also plenty of fish-based menus and vegetable dishes for non-meat eaters, and a plan of action and shopping notes for each menu will avoid last-minute panics.
