Is There a Nutmeg in the House? by Elizabeth David
This anthology of Elizabeth David's work, originally published in hardback in 2000, is a direct sequel to An Omelette and a Glass of Wine. It again contains a selection of her journalistic and occasional work from four decades. Much of it she had chosen herself for reprinting in this more accessible form. In addition there is a considerable amount of unpublished material found in her own files, or contributed by friends to whom she had given recipes, or to whom she had sent letters, either with notes in answer to queries or giving details of current research.
This posthumous collection of essays reminds us not only what an intelligent writer she was; one of the finest ever composers of long sentences, but also how sharp in every senseThis book is a taste of lemon after a diet of sugarplums. Bee Wilson, New Statesman
From the evocative Book of Mediterranean Cuisine in ration-bound 1950 to the masterful English Bread and Yeast Cooking in 1977, Elizabeth David (1913-1992) authored eight books during her lifetime. Her cookbooks are praised for their literary depth as well as their recipes. In 1999, Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics released French Provincial Cooking and Italian Cuisine.
