Description: WHAT'S COOKING IN THE CITY ~ #19 of First Edition ~ signed by Lady Adelene Heap Click images to enlarge Description 1972 spiral Bound book in very good condition entitled What's Cooking in the City?. Signed #19 in 1000 copies made by Lady Heap. Book described below: Many of the seafood recipes are, of course, from the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers. The egg mousse recipe, however, is from Mr. A.J. Balcombe, Master of the Worshipful Company of Tin-Plate Workers. The Drapers, the Barbers, and the Plumbers are also heard from in turn, though the recipe for Filet of Beef Wellington (a bit heavy on the bacon for our taste, though she does note liver pate can be substituted) is from Mrs. Ralph M. Snagge. (Pamela Scrimgeour, 1913-2004, as most of us surely know, married Ralph Mordaunt Snagge (1911-2001), son of Sir Mordaunt Snagge, at London in 1938. And no, none of these people were characters in a Harry Potter novel.) Heavy on the desserts, of course (including Sherry Hedgehog, though lamentably no mention of Spotted Dick.) No, we cannot explain the spellings "Bortsch" or "Spinach Roularde." We also reluctantly conclude Mr. George Vine, Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, was not pulling Lady Heap's leg when he submitted with a straight face his recipe for "Greek Moussaka a L'Anglaise," entirely lacking bechamel and substituting "young cabbage" for eggplant.
