Publishers Text

A well-loved classic of the 1950s comes back. Plats du Jour was born as a Penguin paperback in 1957 and has never before been available in hard cover and on good paper. The hundred thousand or so cooks who have cherished and used for decades their battered paperback copies, the paper relentlessly browning, can now enjoy the book in a new and permanently handsome guise, retaining the distinctive cover design and illustrations by David Gentleman. When Patience Gray and Primrose Boyd wrote the book, they were among the first and foremost heralds of a new era of British interest in food and cookery which was still, at that time, only dawning. The book has preserved its favoured-companion status because it is a delight to read and comfortable to use, an ever-welling source of information and inspiration.
