When war rumblings sent them scurrying Stateside, Clementine refused to be left behind and made a new home for herself in Marblehead, Massachusetts, where she introduced the initially suspicious Yankees to the pleasures of la cuisine de bonne femme. First published in 1943, Clementine in the Kitchen is a charming portrait of a family of gastronomic adventurers, and a mouth-watering collection of more than 170 traditional French recipes.#2 OH, FOR A FRENCH WIFE!Cooking by Ted Moloney & Deke Coleman Drawings by George MolnarThe Shepherd Press, Sidney, Australia, Seventh Edition, May 1961Large format hardcover good - near very good condition, ends of spine are bumped/chipped, dust jacket is poor, but present in one piece, mostly"Oh, For a French Wife!" gives recipes, and such excellent ones.
