Hi All,

In the next couple weeks I'm thinking about auctioning off a rare cookbook I found called The Epicurean. It's by Charles Ranhofer and the date on it is 1920. If anyone is interested, I will post more about it including a photo. I just wanted to look online first to see where the interest might be in such a book.

Thanks!

Don't get rid of the book! It's a great treasure to have in your collection. Certainly it is up to you, but I have to tell you... I know the great-nephew of Charles Ranhofer and he has shared with me some of the history behind Delmonico's and the book. I treasure the signed copy I have. If you must sell it, PM me and I will find it a good home.

Yes the pictures are real, taken with my digital camera. It's in very good condition, probably kept in a box or on a shelf, hardly opened it seems. If I don't sell it, I will give it as an auction prize at an upcoming charity function, but I really could use the money and I'd like to see a chef or collector be able to get it as I know they'd appreciate it's value.
