Vintage Illustrated Entertaining Cookbook by Michael Logan & Lisl Popper








Vintage Illustrated Entertaining Cookbook by Michael Logan & Lisl Popper
A wonderfully evocative vintage cookery book filled with whimsical illustrations by Ginger Tilley, whose distinctive folk-art style captures the charm of 1970s entertaining. The cover artwork alone makes this a delightful display piece for a kitchen shelf, cookbook collection, or vintage interior.
Containing 72 complete menus and approximately 300 recipes designed for advance preparation, the book reflects a period when elegant dinner parties and relaxed entertaining were at the heart of home life. The illustrations throughout are particularly appealing, featuring stylised figures, food motifs, kitchen scenes, and decorative line drawings.
This copy is being sold as a collectible and reference book rather than a perfect reading copy. The front and back boards display beautifully, but there is wear to the binding, one page has been detached, and there is general age-related rubbing and handling wear as shown in the photographs.
