At Elizabeth David's Table: Classic Recipes and Timeless Kitchen Wisdom

At Elizabeth David’s Table offers classic recipes and timeless kitchen wisdom from the woman who revolutionized British cuisine. Elizabeth David, the acclaimed counterpart to Julia Child, is considered the greatest food writer of the twentieth century—and this lavishly illustrated collection of inspiring everyday recipes celebrates chef David’s culinary genius. Published to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Mediterranean Food, her classic first book, At Elizabeth David’s Table is a wonderful gift from the revolutionary chef who introduced a weary, post-war nation to the sun-drenched tastes and delights of the Mediterranean.

Elizabeth David (1913-1992) travelled widely during the Second World War throughout Europe, the Middle East and India. She returned to England in 1946 to write the classic Mediterranean Food, followed by five other books that all became bestsellers. Also a prolific journalist, she was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1982, and a Commander of the British Empire in 1986.
