For conditions, please view our photographs. A nice clean extremely 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. The Midsummer House experience is imaginatively curated to delight and amaze, so the surprise set menu changes regularly and is ‘Midsummer’s’ playground to showcase.

 1st Edition. Somerset Maughan once said that” if you would eat well in England, you must eat breakfast three times a day”.  The Great British Breakfast is the first book on the subject to appear for many years. It traces the history of breakfasting from medieval times to its eighteenth and nineteenth century hey-day, with chapters on country-house and hunting breakfasts.
