Profusely illustrated in black & white. Text in English and German. FIRST EDITION. This is the informative well-illustrated catalogue for a 1999 exhibition on the "Food" project curated by Catherine Morris for White Columns in New York and shown at Bremen's Westfalisches Landesmuseum fur Kunst und Kulturgeschichte. From 1971 through 1974 "Food" was the unique artist-run restaurant located at the corner of Prince and Wooster Streets in New York's SoHo. It was designed and built by Gordon Matta-Clark - this project marking the first instance of his architectural cutting and reconfiguration - and administered primarily by Matta-Clark Caroline Goodden Tina Girouard Rachel Lew and Suzy Harris. "Food" was conceived as a vibrant yet inexpensive oasis where the local artistic community which included neighbors 112 Greene Street Avalanche Magazine Philip Glass etc. would be able to dine drink and exchange ideas. It became "a creative environment where artists were guest chefs films were made dancers performed and art was discussed inspired and produced". A truly fine example of an important piece of documentation. Westfalisches Landesmuseum fur Kunst und Kulturgeschichte & Buchhandlung Walther Konig unknown

Rare cornerstone work.</p><p><strong><u>Bibliographical "mystery"</u></strong><u>:</u> Both Palau 196443 and OCLC describe this work with a different title "<em>Nuevo Cocinero Mexicano</em>" but with the same publisher pagination and illustrations as ours.

By that time Mexico possessed a highly evolved cuisine combining distinctive Spanish Indian and French influences. This is documented in the first cookbook printed in Mexico in 1831 El cocinero mexicano. El Cocinero mexicano has had a remarkably long and important life in Mexican culinary literature. In 1845 the 1834 edition was rearranged in alphabetical order by Mariano Galván Rivera and published throughout the nineteenth century with reprints through the twentieth century</em>"</p><p>The editor of this edition reviews the history of this cookbook and others and explains the rationale for the present edition. He states that over 3000 copies of his own cookbook have been sold since it first appeared in 1831 in addition to the many others both produced domestically and imported from abroad. He further remarks that he has thoroughly edited the text removing some unpopular recipes and adding others especially in light of the fact that "<em>la cocina francesa ha invadido nuestros comedores</em>" thereby making Mexican cooking more cosmopolitan. In recipe revisions or new introductions however the recipes have been suited to Mexican tastes and ingredients.</p><p>The publisher also remarks specifically on the lithographs which he remarks have been included to clarify points and demonstrate how things are actually done. Finally he observes that he has kept the price low so that the book is "<em>al alcance aun de las personas de poca fortuna</em>." In keeping with the national character of the text under the article "Bien-me-sabe" he notes: "<em>Con este nombre podia disignarse todas las confectiones y condimentos de que se trata en este Diccionario…."</em></p><p>In an interesting typographical nod to the contents most of the type on the title page is set in the shape of a glass.</p><p># WorldCat U.S.Libraries: Berkeley San Diego BPL San Antonio with a slight different title page see above.</p> LibreriÌa de Rosa y Bouret
1847List2439Vera Cruz 1847. Folded letter to Wheeling Virginia with learly struck two-line datestamp with "Paid 10" manuscript rate and blue "Steam" handstamp of New Orleans on 1847 with an unusual “Steam†marking applied in New Orleans. Fine condition. Fine. A descriptive and interesting letter from Captain George W. Clutter of Wheeling Virginia describing the scenes and food in Vera Cruz in detail. Clutter had enlisted a detachment of thirty-two men in early 1847 in Monongalia County for service in the war who would eventually become known as the “Mountain Boys of Monongalia.†Clutter was promoted to the captaincy upon the resignation of John Tyler. The company sailed in June of 1847 on the Brig “Tuckahoe†from Old Point Comfort to Point Isabel where they marched to join General Taylor’s forces. <br /> <br /> This interesting letter written by Clutter from Vera Cruz describes the city and cuisine of Vera Cruz in detail. He writes “I am now boarding at the best Hotel in the city - it is called "Bells Stage House'. It is kept by a German lady in great grandeur. The quantity of fruit here is astonishing. Oranges are for sale at about the rate apples would sell in the Wheeling market. I only wish I could send you and the children some of them - such ones as you never eat in the United States as it would be impossible to carry them so far without rotting. <br /> <br /> As we get dinner here at 3 o'clock and no such thing as supper is known I stepped out this evening and obtained a 'cup of chocolate' and 'toast'. If an American or rather United States cook could taste such chocolate as the Mexicans make they never would attempt making the article again - and it is not so much in the simple making of the chocolate but it's in preparing it at the start - for every family even the provost understands making the article from the Cocoa.†Clutter offers additional details on troop movements and logistics of the campaign. Other letters by Clutter during the period are held at the West Virginia Regional History Center at WVU. <br /> <br /> Full contents follow:<br /> <br /> Vera Cruz Mexico<br /> Thursday Sept. 30th 1847<br /> <br /> When I wrote to you from the Brazos I felt in rather a bad humor and as I have arrived at this splendid city the first splendid place I have found in Mexico I will endeavor to write to you more at length than I did from the above named place. We left the Brazos at 5 o'clock P.M. on Monday on board the Steamship Ohio and without ever seeing the sun once during the voyage arrived here today Thursday about 11 o'clock A.M. - truly a quick trip. None of our Regiment except those who were favored with a passage on the Ohio in Company with Brig. Genl. Cushing are here yet. Those of our Regiment here are as follows: Lieut. Col. Withers Capt. Clay & his Company and Capt. Campbell & your humble servant who came upon the sick list. I am much improved since the commencement of the voyage and will with a day or two's rest be able to take up the line of march by the time the Regiment gets ready to move forward to join Genl. Scott. I must explain here the balance of the Regiment is coming in ships which may detain them two or three days in which event I will have become rested. I am now boarding at the best Hotel in the city - it is called "Bells Stage House'. It is kept by a German lady in great grandeur. The quantity of fruit here is astonishing. Oranges are for sale at about the rate apples would sell in the Wheeling market. I only wish I could send you and the children some of them - such ones as you never eat in the United States as it would be impossible to carry them so far without rotting. <br /> <br /> As we get dinner here at 3 o'clock and no such thing as supper is known I stepped out this evening and obtained a 'cup of chocolate' and 'toast'. If an American or rather United States cook could taste such chocolate as the Mexicans make they never would attempt making the article again - and it is not so much in the simple making of the chocolate but it's in preparing it at the start - for every family even the provost understands making the article from the Cocoa.<br /> <br /> In this City may be seen all the fashionable fine buildings and streets to be found in any city of the United States. Also all the various fancy and other goods now in the cities of the North & East can be found here. <br /> <br /> I have not yet found another horse since my arrival but must try and get one tomorrow. I hope my friend Pollock will receive the Mexican roan 'J.B.' which I sent him from Brazos. From hard usage he is not in very good order at present but with little care will be a very useful horse. Don't you ever ask the privilege of riding him however. Mind I know him well. <br /> <br /> As you have heard before this Genl. Scott is in the City of Mexico having sustained a very heavy loss in getting there. We expect to have considerable fighting between here and the City of Mexico ourselves. Time however will reveal all things. <br /> <br /> The soreness in my legs which I complained of is better but I fear exercise will cause it to return. What it will terminate in I am unable to say at present. <br /> <br /> I received a letter from you at this place today which was read with the usual interest notwithstanding it was written on the 13th August 17 days previous to the last one received at Sabinito which was dated 30th August.<br /> <br /> I have just bought five Vera Cruz papers which I will send you. They are half Mexican which half you can dispose of as you see proper. By the bye Mr. Fleeson promised to send you the Matamoros Flag regular. Tell me if you get it. <br /> <br /> Oct. 1st 1847<br /> <br /> This morning I have been all over the city. It would take me a month to describe all the curiosities I have beheld. I will save that for a private chat some long evening after my return. <br /> <br /> I would like to have you Dear little Ada to examine and see the curiosities to be seen. When papa comes home he will bring you some of them. <br /> <br /> My love to Sarah Ann. I would write longer to her had I time. My love to all my friends & acquaintances. <br /> <br /> I am Dearest Sarah<br /> your loving husband<br /> Geo. W. Clutter<br /> <br /> to<br /> Sarah M. Clutter. unknown

A government-issued poster encouraging Americans to grow victory gardens to support the war effort. The poster depicts an arrangement of various vegetables including peas in the shell cabbage and carrots in the foreground. In the background is a view of a garden with a man and woman cultivating and weeding. In an official wartime activity begun two and a half decades earlier in the Great War Americans were urged to supplement the food they had available for personal use by planting vegetable gardens both to support the war effort and due to food shortages and rationing. The gardens known as "victory gardens" were promoted widely by both the government and industry. Gardens were planted during World War I as well but were called "war gardens" until the end of the war when the term "victory garden" came into use. Creased at the folds otherwise very near fine.
