German text throughout. Photographs on request. Johann Rottenhöfer 1806-1872 was a well-known German chef of the 19th century and the author of an important cookbook. The later steward of the Bavarian kings Maximilian II. And Ludwig II. Was a representative of the upscale "courtly" kitchen. He was "head cook" at the Bavarian royal court in Munich which means according to the economic Encyclopedia of state city household and agriculture that he - in contrast to the "court cook" - only prepared food for the "master's table" so for the royal family and their guests. In 1858 he published his cookbook Rottenhöfer Instruction in the Fine Art of Cooking which was used with its 2345 recipes for decades after his death by other chefs. Braun Und Schneider Hardcover

19010051881901. Unique Antiquarian Sidder Jewish Prayerbook Circa 1901 with Brass Trimmed Celloid Cover with Bone Celluloid Brass Tin and Velvet Embellishments The title page is missing but this volume is consistent with the book: Form of Prayers and Blessings of Israel with an English Translation published by the Hebrew Publishing Company Brooklyn New York Book opens right to left. 511 pages. 32mo: 4.75 by 3.5 inches in size and 1.75 inches thick. The book is white celluloid with a brass frame on the front and back covers. Teeny brass nails mark the midpoint of the frame closest to the spine on both front and back cover. A detailed brass clasp and peg to hold the volume closed are intact and working. The front cover has many layers of artistry. Working from back to front outside in: a brass frame about a quarter of an inch all around a then a celluloid border about a half inch. On top of that there is a deep very detailed frame of silver colored metal oxidized possibly tin about 4.5 by 2.5 inches. A zig zag border design is around all inner and outer edges of the tin frame. The frame does not respond to a magnet and may be sterling silver or German silver. The center is kind of an ovoid cutout. The embellishments have been incised from a single sheet of silver colored metal some fine detailed work. On top of the silver colored frame and secured by 16 teeny brass nails is a very detailed "lacey" celluloid/faux ivory border. The design ranges from a quarter of an inch at its narrowest to an inch at its widest and features little leaves. Inside the silver colored metal frame is red velvet backing and in the center of that is a handcarved ivory medallion of the 10 Commandments Tablets which is about .75 inch wide and 1.5 inches long. 480 or so pages with Hebrew and English text. The pages are gilt edged all around. The inside covers are lined with a white moire paper. There is a bound in Czecho-Solvakia sticker on rear endpage. The celluloid spine is peeling from the velvet backing and is chipped at all corners. The book itself is fragile. This was a beloved and well used volume that went to shul often and it does have much handling wear and tear. Front hinge is separated with pages prior to page five including title page and contents page missing. Pages 5 to 474 are detached from cover but intact and bound together. Inside front cover is soiled with some losses to the moire. There is a tiny stain in the margin of pages 5/6 and one in the margin of page 285. Pages 7 and 17 have some light blue crayoning. Several folded page corners. Some pages are cut without a margin on the bottom - a publishing error. Back hinge is broken with interior spine exposed at page 474. Page 475/476 is missing and page 477/478 The Hymn of Glory and Prayer for the Goverment is torn and creased. 477 to rear endpage is detached together. Clasp has a slight bend. Back cover has fingermarks. There is tiny spot on front cover. There is a slight bend to the metal frame on the right side. . Ivory; Velvet; Brass; Celluloi. Fair/No Jacket. 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall.

Bound in the original gilt-stamped light brown cloth. From a review in South China Morning Post by Susan Jung: "How can you not love a book that has a section called How to Choose a Cook In Five Treasures of Chinese Cuisine 1977 authors Flora Chang from Fuzhou Fujian province and her friend Gaynell Fuchs from Windsor Connecticut are being a little tongue-in-cheek when they write While it is doubtful if many of our readers will be in a position to hire a Chinese cook some suggestions on how to judge a cook may come in handy when appraising ones own efforts. In China the cook would be given a food allowance and part of the job would be to select the food as well as to prepare and cook it. The employer would take all these tasks into account when making the decision. The authors suggest testing the skills of the cook whether hired or yourself with three dishes: egg flower soup steamed pork hash and stir-fried beef. The five treasures Chang and Fuchs refer to in the title are the cuisines of Canton now Guangzhou Fukien now Fujian Peking now Beijing Shanghai and Sichuan and they also write about general recipes noodles rice pickles condiments that are similar across China. In the Cantonese chapter we get recipes for oxtail stew with raw peanuts crab with black bean sauce sweet and sour pork and winter melon soup. Fukienese recipes include fish and tofu soup deep-fried shrimp balls eight treasure crab rice and stuffed clams. From Peking there are recipes for birds nest soup a modified Peking duck top left; the traditional recipe requires equipment not found in most home kitchens braised pigs intestines and mandarin pancakes. The chapter on Shanghai cuisine includes dishes such as chicken and watermelon soup drunken chicken lions head meatballs top and paper wrapped spareribs. And in the Sichuan section there are recipes for ma la beef shreds bon bon chicken and sour hot sea cucumbers.". Hardcover. Fine condition/No dust jacket.
