Vintage 1963 The Art of Greek Cookery Doubleday Cookbook with Dust Jacket

A wonderful piece of culinary history, The Art of Greek Cookery began as a fundraising project by the women of Saint Pauls Greek Orthodox Church in Hempstead New York, who gathered and tested traditional family recipes from their homeland. The collection was such a success that Doubleday picked it up for wider publication in 1963, complete with charming illustrations throughout by Art Seiden. Inside you will find recipes ranging from appetizers to desserts, both Greek and English names for each dish, along with notes on Greek wines, traditional feast days, and customs. A lovely reference for anyone interested in Greek cuisine, mid century cookbooks, or the kind of community cookbook that became a beloved classic. In good condition with the original dust jacket present, showing normal wear consistent with age.
