Handmade drawing on the first page of the author's book "Livre de recettes" with inscription and signature. "As soon as you have this remarkable book in your hands (whether you paid for it, borrowed it, or stole it), give it without delay to a close, albeit irresponsible, friend who you know without a doubt will lose it forever. When the Recipe Book suddenly, long afterwards, returns to you, your joy and pleasure as a reader will be all the greater. The author of these lines can attest to this..." - Ladislav Novak, "Livre de recettes"
