The Elizabeth David recipe that I love and remember the most is the delicious ragu from her Italian Food book... Elizabeth David is up there with the best.

More than a collection of recipes, this book is in effect a readable and discerning dissertation on Italian food and regional dishes, and their preparation in the English kitchen.
