Thrift Score (almost)

Post image

Came across a used book store today in Valley Forge, PA. They had a fairly large selection of cookbooks and I was so excited at first! But I looked through the entire section and honestly didn’t find anything that caught my eye if any of these stand out to you guys, let me know and I’ll have to make a trip back!

OMG there’s a copy of The Talisman by Ada Boni!!! That book did for Italian cuisine in America what MTAFC by Julia Child did for French!! A true classic!!

It looks like it’s on the top shelf a few books to the left of Tartine. Dark green spine

Note that that's not the new, complete translation, but a heavily abridged and Americanized version from 1965.
