The Cook opens with Conrad, nearly seven feet tall, gaunt, and dressed all in black, arriving on his bicycle in the town of Cobb. He quickly secures a job as cook for the wealthy Hill family, winning their hearts and stomachs with his delectable dishes, and before long he has everyone around him eating out of his hand. But Conrad has a sinister, inscrutable plan in view, and after becoming master of their palates, next may be their souls . . . A mouth-watering blend of delicious black humor and Kafkaesque horror story, The Cook (1965) is a dark fable "beginning in a vein of innocent fairy tale and ending with satanic revels" (The Observer). Long out of print, this cult classic returns in a new edition featuring Milton Glaser's iconic dust jacket art from the first edition. "I have much enjoyed The Cook, for I am very fond of Satan. My congratulations to Mr. Kressing on his achievement." - John Fowles "A finely wrought, captivating tale of suspense-a superior entertainment." - Detroit News "I haven't been so gripped by any first novel since Lord of the Flies." - Irving Wardle, The Observer "A fable, part diabolique, part diversion ... high originality, some style, and a come-on which assures that it will be read at one sitting." - Kirkus Reviews

Excerpt from The Twentieth Century Cook Book In these days of extreme luxury, one would imagine that diners-out required only faith in the resources of a hostess and her cook to whet the edges of their ap petites. Nevertheless, most fashionable dinners and luncheons are preceded by these important vanguards to the feast. Appetizers should always be daintily served and garnished, as they help to decorate the table, and should be what their name implies, an incentive to the appetite.

Harlan Ellison In the worst, poorest, most benighted corner of London is Fowlers End, one of the most godforsaken spots on the face of the earth. It is here that young Daniel Laverock, starving and nearly penniless at the height of the Great Depression, takes the only job he can find: manager of the Pantheon Theater, a rundown old silent cinema owned by Sam Yudenow. Yudenow, an incorrigible swindler and one of the great comic grotesques in English literature, at first seems merely an amusing old fool, but Laverock soon discovers he is actually a despicable rogue. And when one of Yudenow's schemes finally goes too far, Laverock and his co-worker Copper Baldwin decide to teach him a lesson with a grand scheme of their own, with hilarious and unpredictable results.

Excerpt from Twentieth Century Cook Book: An Up-to-Date and Skillful Preparation on the Art of Cooking, and Modern Candy Making Simplified, Also the Process of Drying Fruits and Vegetables, and Butchering Time Recipes This book is intended especially and primarily for farm cooks, though it will be found equally useful and helpful in the city kitchen where economy is an object. It is, of course, understood that country or farm house keepers have many advantages their town sisters lack, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, poultry, eggs, milk, cream and butter, which naturally cannot always be had in city markets, Where even inferior grades of produce are high priced. In the average farm kitchen such things are considered necessities, not luxuries, and are accepted quite as a matter of course.
