[Signed] Wolfe, Elsie de. Recipes for Successful Dining. Fourth Printing. 1949. Book and dust jacket are both in very good minus condition—previous owner’s name written on the front endpaper; endpapers are discolored; and dust jacket shows minor chips to the upper front corners. It is signed “Elsie de Wolfe Mendl, 1949” on the flyleaf. 

It is not necessarily true that a legendary decorator would give legendary dinner parties, but Elsie de Wolfe did. In this book, she lays out her fundamental principles for entertaining. There should be a basic dish to counterbalance a richer one, and there should be one item served that is something new that will surprise the guests. 

"Never have high flower vases, or other things that obstruct the view of the beautiful woman across the table."

--Elsie de Wolfe
