$29.99
1977 The All Color Family Cookbook. Hardcover. Measures about 12" by 9". 253 pages. Has a name written on the inside cover.
This 1977 culinary expansive volume is a vibrant journey back to the heart of seventies home cooking. As a comprehensive family resource, it spans 253 pages and features over 500 full-color illustrations, offering a visual feast of the era's most celebrated dishes. From the iconic glazed hams and intricately garnished platters to hearty weeknight casseroles, this book captures the transition of the American kitchen from simple convenience to more adventurous, visually-driven entertaining. Edited by Gill Edden, the collection serves as an impressive historical record of mid-to-late century dining habits and presentation styles.
The large format and high-density photography make this more than just a cookbook; it is a piece of graphic design history. The saturated colors and specific plating techniques reflect a time when the dinner table was the center of social life. While there is a previous owner's name written on the interior, the book remains in sturdy condition, ready to be used as a functional kitchen guide or displayed as a nostalgic accent in a vintage-themed kitchen. It is an ideal addition for collectors of large-format culinary ephemera or those wishing to style a period-accurate mid-century dining space.
This item is vintage, over 45 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
