This is the first volume of the 1979 edition of the Women's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery. "Cookery" isn't really a term you here used often these days, is it? This volume covers everything from Abalone to Avocado, with special sections such as American Cookery (Which Includes "Chinese Sweet-and-Sour Pork" for some reason), and Apple Cookbook (Because there's so much you can do with apples, although not enough to merit calling it Cookery). A nice throwback to a time when looking up random recipes online wasn't an option. ( )
