Helen Corbitt's Greenhouse Cookbook 1979 Houghton Mifflin First Printing Illustrated Vintage Cookbook
$19.99$0.00
This is a vintage Health & Diet Cooking (Vintage Cookbook) classic from famed chef Helen Corbitt, built around the elegant, slimming menus served at The Greenhouse, a Texas health spa. It reads like a time capsule of late-70s “eat lighter, live brighter” dining: fresh vegetables, thoughtful portions, and recipes meant to feel indulgent while staying measured. Inside you’ll find a structured, day-by-day plan plus recipes with calorie guidance and charming black-and-white illustrations. Photo-verified details below, ready for your kitchen shelf (and your cookbook collection).
