Carving and Boning LIke an Expert, Oreste Carnevali
When I go to someone’s house for Thanksgiving dinner and they carve the turkey in the kitchen, hidden from view, I consider it cheating. Carving is part of the ritual and it’s a part of any gentleman’s (and now gentlewoman’s) duty to be prepared for the terrified moment when the hostess says “Oh, Mary, would you like to carve?” It’s very impressive when you know what you’re doing. Hence, I consider this book essential to any culinary library. Copyright 1978, first edition, hardcover, no color (black and white illustrations), 154 pages, condition very good (top of dust jacket is torn)
