19399203New York: Imprimerie Chauvelot 149 West 21st Street 1939. Bi-fold menu 18 x 14.2 cm. 4 pages. FIRST EDITION. It does seem a bit ironic to find a list of "American Drinks" at the French Pavilion an exhibit dedicated to delivering the best of French food and drink to some of the forty-five million visitors to the 1939-40 World's Fair. The French Pavilion was a pivotal event in American culinary culture bringing a new level of fine French dining to New York City as it gave birth to Henri Soule's Lutece and its offshoots Le Pavillon La Côte Basque La Grenouille and La Caravelle. The list includes selections of Scotch Irish & Canadian and Rye along with Sherries and Ports as well as short lists of Cocktails and Fancy Drinks. Beer from Pabst Blue Ribbon Rheingold and Ruppert were also available. We've seen a later - 1940 - form of this list titled "American Drinks and Sandwiches" offering a Cream Cheese and Jelly Sandwich perhaps an indication of the financial issues the Fair in general was having with low attendance and a perception of high prices. Some light staining and age-toning to the menu's tan paper printed in blue. near very good. [Imprimerie Chauvelot, 149 West 21st Street] unknown

19649415New York: Harvest House 1964. Small quarto in comb binding 25.5 x 18 cm. 64 pages. Illustrated. Index. FIRST EDITION. A cookbook of regional African recipes by Bea Sandler restaurant consultant and food magazine editor. An expanded edition was released in 1970 by World Publishing Co. with the contracted title African Cookbook and re-issued again in 1993. The introduction to the 1993 edition notes that “The first publication of this book was . the first volume on African cooking to appear in this country or anywhere outside of Africa.†The second half of that statement was incorrect but it was indeed the first published in the U.S. The cookbook originated with Sandler’s role in planning the menu for The Tree Houses Restaurant at the African Pavilion of the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. Sandler writes in the preface that after being given this task “to our amazement we could not find an African cook book published in America†though they were able to turn up a couple of volumes published in Africa after which “we embarked on a long and complex testing program. We invited people who had been in Africa to participate in the testings and to advise us on the final selection of menu items.†Each chapter of the book “is designed to give you a complete luncheon or dinner as you would get it at the African Pavilion.†For instance one chapter provides a complete “Couscous Menu†consisting of Groundnut Soup Couscous Mauritania a salad and Mango-Banana Sundae. Other recipes in the book include “Tree House†Chutney Curry of Beef Kenya Chicken Moamba Foo-Foo and Nigerian Pancakes as well as six recipes for alcoholic cocktails including Paw-Paw Paradise and Tanganika Tonic. The lower portion of each page prints a description of one of the countries featured at the pavilion. Sandler went on to travel extensively around Africa compiling recipes for her 1970 edition of this cookbook. This original World's Fair publication is very uncommon. One small pencil annotation to margin otherwise internally clean and sound. Photographically illustrated covers are lightly rubbed and with some bumping to corners otherwise fine.
