$19.00$0.00
Description
Scottish-born John MacPherson began cooking his own meals in a boarding house and learned the art of cooking. He was trained as a chemical engineer, but his lifelong hobby was cooking.
He admits that he's a mystery chef because cooking was not a man's province at the time of the writing. The style of the writer is warm and friendly. So naturally, you want to make his recipes.
The Mystery Chef's Own Cookbook is an excellent addition to your vintage wartime recipe collection or home library.

Questions buyers ask
-
Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.
-
Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.
-
I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
