STOBART TomMareMagnum
The International Wine and Food Society's Guide to Herbs, Spices and Flavourings. Illustrations by Ian Garrard. [CBC edition]. BRIGHT, CLEAN COPY IN DUSTWRAPPER
4to., First Edition thus, with 8 coloured plates, very numerous monochrome illustrations (a number full-page) in the text and decorative endpapers; yellow cloth, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy in dustwrapper. First published in 1970, this is arguably the best of the single-volume compendia of herbs and spices. A well-known mountaineer and member of Hunt's 1953 Everest Expedition, Stobart later developed two other careers - as photographer and cookery writer. This volume was some twenty years in the making. Curiously elusive in this condition.
