Elizabeth David was an essential, 20th century food critic who wrote in the mode of short story with a passion for recipes. She provides background stories and recipe illustrations in an educational and accessible tone, while introducing the French notion of la cuisine terroir, "what grows together goes together." This, she believes, is the heart of regional cooking.
