In the 1920s Ward Lock produced a series of themed recipe books based on Beeton's best-selling BHM. This is (we believe) the fourth of eight such titles published between 1924 and 1925. Most of the series continued to be reissued as increasingly independent collections in their own right; some were themselves later amalgamated producing a complex bibliography.
