Mediterranean Food - French Country Cooking - Summer Cooking

"Everyone who loves good food will welcome this reprint in one volume, hardback and durable, of the three classics of the kitchen which first made us familiar with the name Elizabeth David. They have been necessary to my generation, they will be necessary to our children and grand children." These are the opening lines from Jane Grigson's Preface to the original edition of Elizabeth David Classics published by Jill Norman in 1980 and her words are as relevant today as they were nearly twenty years ago.

Elizabeth David's cookery books have inspired generations of cooks and food lovers and this handsome 600 page hardback edition of three of her finest books will be welcomed by those who want to replace their own worn out, treasured copies or for those who want the perfect gift edition.

Reviews

"If only more keen and young cooks of today - both professional and amateur - would just set aside a few moments each week, to delve into the writings of Elizabeth David, the standard of cookery in this country could eventually become something of note. As it is, I imagine she might now be tearing her hair out with frustration and familiar ire, were she still to be part of most of it. To those who have a genuine leaning towards time well spend around a well-worn kitchen table, a more enchanting enthusiast of that particular pleasure we shall possibly never know again."

"At last I can put aside my worn out paperback copies of these favourite cookbooks and luxuriate in a handsome hardback edition. Truly a Desert Island trilogy." Lindsey Bareham
