19717770New York: Ashley Books 1971. First Edition First Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 6 1/4 X 9 1/2 Inches. 278 PP. Stated "First Edition" on the copyright page. Original price of $8.95 intact on front flap. An often overlooked classic that obviously influenced chef Jamie Oliver. Written by Penelope Ashe AKA Billie Young of "Naked Came the Stranger" fame. For those who forget "Naked Came the Stranger" was the trashy 1969 novel pieced together from 24 submissions by Newsday columnist Mike McGrady. McGrady set out to publish a book that was intentionally horrible but filled with lots of sex. His intention was to prove that American readership no longer recognized good writing and just cared about folks getting naked. He was right. The book a hoax was published and became a 1969 bestseller. Penelope Ashe Billie Young was represented as the author for meetings with publishers etc. In fact Young was McGrady's sister-in-law. Ever the entreprenuer she parlayed that "fake fame" into this genuinely fine cookbook. <br /> <br /> Includes recipes that include: Adulteress Rice Pilaf Erotic Viking Steamers Spicy Casanova Shimp and Conjugal Clam Chowder among others. Light wear to top edge and foot of DJ spine. Ashley Books hardcover
