The Margaret Rudkin Pepperidge Farm Cookbook

Author:  Margaret Rudkin — founder of Pepperidge Farm  Publisher: Atheneum, New York  Year:1963 (FIRST EDITION) — confirmed by your copyright page.  Illustrator: Erik Blegvad, a beloved mid-century illustrator known for his warm, detailed drawings. It was the first cookbook ever to hit the New York Times bestseller list. It helped establish the modern idea of the “charming, personal cookbook.”  It’s part memoir, part cookbook, part early 20th-century food history.  The illustrations are exceptional. Blegvad’s drawings make this edition particularly desirable.  Hard to find in clean condition.
