Description
The Complete Book of Outdoor Cookery by Helen Evans Brown and James A Beard, 1955 Doubleday. Hardbound 255 page cookbook with DJ, book club edition. Book in excellent condition, cover has small tears and edge wear. Beard opened his famed cooking school the same year, 1955.
“Complete,” indeed. Recipes range from foiled frozen vegetables, roasted bananas, frijoles refritos, and deviled ham steak to broiled marrow bones, roast pheasant with cherries, and truite au bleu. The Complete Book of Outdoor Cookery includes instructions for backyard barbecues and picnics, as well as for galley, trailer, and campsite cookery. Beard wrote it with his close friend Helen Brown, a noted food authority and cookbook author on the West Coast. In the book’s preface, they specified just who they thought should do the cooking: “We believe that [charcoal cookery] is primarily a man’s job, and that a woman, if she’s smart, will keep it that way.”
