To Set Before the King Katharina Schratt's Festive Recipes

"...a handwritten cookery book...from the estate of the son of Katharina Schratt, a Viennese actress who had enjoyed a close friendship with the Emperor Franz Joseph I for thirty-two years, until he died in 1916....The publication is handsomely mounted. A short life of Schratt is followed by an annotated translation of the notebooks....These recipes are perfectly usable, having been adjusted from the worst excesses of the style and epoch..."Champe, Gertrud G. is the author of 'To Set Before the King Katharina Schratt's Festive Recipes', published 1996 under ISBN 9780877455356 and ISBN 087745535X.
