(1972) Fifty Books of the Year

Description

The book features outstanding recipes from The Four Seasons, one of America’s most elegant restaurants. Like the restaurant’s menu, the recipes are based on the changes of the seasons and on the idea that certain foods are best enjoyed at the appropriate time of the year.

Special features: Each of the book’s four season sections is printed on a different color stock. The shades were prepared by Monadnock especially for this edition. Spine stamped in gold foil.
