First British edition. Octavo, original cloth. Illustrated by Juliet Renny. In very good condition. David studies and analyzes cooking the way a scholar analyzes literature, and, as a result, her titles are far more than just cookbooks. Along with the recipes, of which there are many, she explains at length the histories of the dishes and offers splendid advice on serving wine with the meals. Lacking the rare dust jacket.
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 terrior, "what grows together goes together." This, she believes, is the heart of regional cooking.
