Signed
New Menus from Simca's Cuisine
A signed first-edition, first-printing copy of New Menus from Simca's Cuisine by Simone Beck and Michael James, published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich in 1979. Beck was a noted authority on French cooking and a co-author of the landmark Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
This illustrated cookbook presents imaginative menus and recipes that adapt French culinary traditions for the contemporary home kitchen. Beck combines regional French influences with practical modern techniques and a willingness to use ingredients and wines from outside the traditional French repertoire. Illustrations are by Catherine Brandel.
The title page is warmly inscribed to Rhoda and signed by Simone Beck: “To Rhoda, happy wishes, Simone Beck.” The copyright page states First Edition and carries the B C D E letter line used by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich for a first printing during this period.
The seller grades the hardcover and dust-jacket copy Very Good. The dust jacket displays edge and corner wear, rubbing, and small chips or short tears, including wear around the spine ends and upper corners. The photographed inscription and copyright pages appear generally clean and legible. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
