By Sir Harry Luke (1954)
[FROM THE PUBLISHERS} This is a book about food and drink, and the delights that, artistically handled and intelligently used, they can add to the graciousness of life. In a life-time of travel which has quartered the globe, Sir Harry Luke has formed a wealth of gastronomic observations and suggestions, as well as an unusual and eclectic collection of recipes. Sheiks, millionaires, peasants, Dervishes , and Gourmets of the old school, have been his hosts, and from them and from their cooks he has gleaned many a subtle hint for better service of the Tenth Muse.
