I have the 1996 hardcover edition. It was a gift a long time ago, so I don’t know what she paid for it back then.
The recipes are in order by month, making the best use of the freshest vegetables and herbs. It’s really well done.
Does it have a yellow cover with a monk on it, or a bowl of soup with bread on it? It probably doesn’t matter, but it hard to tell when you buy something online sometimes.
