Elizabeth David's books, especially the earlier volumes such as
this, are as much a captivating read as a collection of
mouthwatering recipes. She induces a desire to use each recipe as
soon as it is read, describing dishes like pot au feu or omelette
in all their simplicity and yet so evocatively that you can almost
taste and smell them as you read. At the same time, she goes to the
heart of the regional food culture, with descriptions of markets,
meals and culinary traditions to inspire the armchair traveller as
much as the armchair cook. (Kirkus UK)
Elizabeth David's classic work on the regional cuisine of France is one of the most evocative, inspiring cookery books ever written. It gives simple recipes for timeless dishes such as omelettes, soufflés and salads as well as for more complex - but equally traditional - pâtés, cassoulets, roasts and puddings. Hugely readable and informative, French Provincial Cooking is a must for anyone wishing to re-create the flavours of France.
