It took all those years between 1952 and 1961 to write this cookbook, as Amy is nothing but thorough in her work. As a consummate home entertainer, a world traveler, a wife and a mom,  Amy loved cooking but also understood that it could be a daunting, boring and tedious task at times too. In her cookbook, she set out to create imaginative dishes that would inspire the spirit. Nutritious feasts that would fuel the body. And authentic international meals that would spark the curious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHere you'll find a plethora of interesting recipes for things like Coconut Tea Loaf Bread, Salmon Pie, Baked Fondue, Floating Islands, Batter-Fried Sardines, Paris Bistro Veal Chops, Pumpkin Chiffon Tarts, King of Sweden Soup, Celery Au Gratin, Sweet Potato Souffle, etc, etc, etc. As a world-renowned and beloved etiquette expert, Amy shared thousands of meals with thousands of people from all cultures through her work, so she knew what people liked to eat and how they liked to eat it. In all those adventures of eating and entertaining, she never lost her sense of curiosity for the creative ways that food and flavors could be brought together. This cookbook represents that excitement most, and will appeal to home cooks today, who share similar a similar sense of wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere is also a special visual surprise tucked inside this cookbook as well - the illustrations of Andy Warhol. Before he became the famous pop-culture icon known around the globe, he was just starting out in his career - simply known as Andrew Warhol  - illustrator for hire, when this cookbook was produced. There's no flair for the dramatic in his style not yet defined. Instead, here there are technical drawings of cake pans and produce, dinner table settings and fruit displays,  cuts of meat and bowls of vegetables. It's not often that vintage cookbooks can be appreciated for both their food content and the early merit of an iconic artist but this one wonderfully combines both, giving readers a true sense of midcentury kitchen joy as it unfolded for both cooks and artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhoto of Amy Vanderbilt courtesy of the St. Louis Dispatch, 08-23-55\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e{SPECIAL FEATURES}\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 811 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Illustrated by Andy Warhol (yes,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e famous Andy Warhol!) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Covers all matter of meals from Breakfast to Dinner, appetizers to desserts and everything in between\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Suggested menus, cooking terms and measurement tables round out special sections\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e - Many recipes include little stories as to their origin or particular musings from Amy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e{CONDITION}\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn lovely vintage condition.
