'Cooking People' offers an impressive series of interviews with the big names of the cookery world at the time (Elizabeth David, Ambrose Heath, Helen Burke and Andre Simon among others) interlaced with their recipes and culinary secrets.

With the original unclipped dust wrapper.
Externally, lovely, with only a touch of shelf wear.
Dust wrapper is very smart.
