First British edition of the author's landmark work on European cooking. Octavo, original green cloth. Signed by Elizabeth David on the front free endpaper. A very good copy in a worn dust jacket that shows some chips and wear. Illustrated by Juliet Renny. Rare signed.
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.
