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.
