Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. CRAIG, Elizabeth [196] pp. Museum Press Limited 1955 7 1/2″ x 5 1/8″ “If there is one form of cookery that has been neglected more than another in Britain it is beer cookery. There are plenty of books telling you how to introduce wine to fare, but few extolling the flavor of beer.” She therefore set out to rectify the problem by writing Beer and Vittels, the source of her observation from 1955. Some of her material originates in Britain, or so she claims: Much of that, however, would appear actually to have originated with her or with some bowdlerized notion of how to prepare food in anything approaching an authentic way. The book includes some useful recipes that adhere to the British tradition, but they appear only after a series of unfortunate efforts at snack foods and party planning.
