European Peasant Cookery by Elisabeth Luard
First published in the 1980s, there are over 500 recipes in this collection, and Elisabeth Luard has now revisited it to revise, expand and update it. The recipes come from 25 countries, ranging from Ireland in the west to Romania in the east, Iceland in the north to Turkey in the south. This compendium covers vegetable dishes, potato dishes, beans, lentils, polenta and cornmeal, rice, pasta and noodles, eggs, milk and cheeses, fish, poultry, small game, pork, shepherd's meats, beef, breads and yeast pastries, sweet dishes, herbs, mushrooms and fungi, oils and preserves. Written with scrupulous attention to detail and authenticity, the recipes are peppered with anecdotes and little known facts about local history and folklore.
Luard, Elisabeth: - Elisabeth Luard is an award-winning food writer and is the current holder of The Glenfiddich Trophy. In the judges' estimation, in addition to scooping the much coveted Glenfiddich Trophy, Elisabeth Louard was named best Cookery Writer for her recipes in the The Oldie. Elisabeth's seemingly effortless style of writing, self-drawn illustrations and understanding of the way in which ordinary people's cooking reflects their history, culture, and everyday life, makes her one of the most individual and distinctive food writers of all time. She is a contributing editor to Waitrose Food Illustrated. In the 90's she covered regional cooking in Britain for Country Living, was the food columnist of The Scotsman and The Telegraph. .
