Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Cookbook | Illustrated by Andy Warhol | 1961 | Vintage American Cookbook | Bixley Shop

This is a 1961 first edition of Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Cookbook, illustrated by Andy Warhol. At 811 pages, the book is a soup-to-nuts "kitchen bible" for new and experienced cooks alike!

Andy Warhol's pen & ink line drawings for the book were done before he became a famous pop icon, but you'll see his unique artistic flair is evident even in these simple illustrations.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR (Courtesy of Wikipedia)
Amy Osborne Vanderbilt (1908-1974) was an American authority on etiquette. In 1952 she published the best-selling book Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Book of Etiquette. The book, later retitled Amy Vanderbilt's Etiquette, has been updated and is still in circulation. Its longtime popularity has led to its being considered a standard of etiquette writing. She is also the author or collector of cooking materials, including the 1961 book Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Cook Book illustrated by Andy Warhol. This cookbook's illustrations are attributed to "Andrew Warhol", and predate Andy Warhol's first New York solo pop art exhibition. His illustrations are simple line drawings in pen and ink.
