This is 3 books in 1 from the fifties and published in England. I love it! The 3 sections are 1. Basic cookery, 2. Picture cookery, 3. Cake making.
Although there are some recipes that I would never make, the cake recipes and basic instructions are very good. In contrast to modern cookbooks, the instructions are extremely brief, and that makes room for more recipes. An excellent vintage cookbook!
