Elizabeth David Bücher

Lange anerkannt als Inspiration für moderne Meister wie Julia Child und Claudia Roden, ist "Küche von Cannes bis Kairo" eine leidenschaftliche Mischung aus Rezepten, kulinarischem Wissen und offener Ansprache von Elizabeth David. In dem tristen Nachkriegsengland, als Grundnahrungsmittel rationiert und frische Lebensmittel eine Fantasie waren, machte sich David daran, sich selbst und ihr Publikum mit Gerichten aus Südfrankreich, Italien, Spanien, Portugal, Griechenland und dem Nahen Osten aufzuheitern. Einige sind üppig, viele sind einfach, die meisten sind erhaben.

Elizabeth David's Italian Food was one of the first books to demonstrate the enormous range of Italy's regional cooking. For the foods of Italy, explained David, expanded far beyond minestrone and ravioli, to the complex traditions of Tuscany, Sicily, Lombardy, Umbria, and many other regions. David imparts her knowledge from her many years in Italy, exploring, researching, tasting and testing dishes. Her passion for real food, luscious, hearty, fresh, and totally authentic, will inspire anyone who wishes to recreate the abundant and highly unique regional dishes of Italy.

Like M.F.K. Fisher and Julia Child, Elizabeth David changed the way we think about and prepare food. David's nine books, written with impeccable wit and considerable brilliance, helped educate the taste (and taste buds) of the postwar generation. Insisting on authentic recipes and fresh ingredients, she showed that food need not be complicated to be good.A Book of Mediterranean Food, published in 1950, introduced the ingredients of a sunnier world (olive oil, garlic, eggplant, basil), celebrating their smell and taste and above all high-righting the concept that food reflects a way of life and should be a source of joy. Subsequent books on French and Italian cooking and a stream of provocative articles followed. Later, David's monumental English Bread and Yeast Cookery became the champion of the Real Bread movement. Her last book, Harvest of the Cold Months, is a fascinating historical account of food preservation, eating habits, and the astonishing worldwide food trade in snow and ice. Many of the recipes and excerpts here were chosen by David's friends and by the chefs and writers she inspired (including Alice Waters and Barbara Kafka). This correction will enable some of us to discover and others to remember what made David one of our most influential and best-loved food writers.

For the great English food writer Elizabeth David, summer fare means neither tepid nor timid. Her stress is always on fresh, seasonal food-- recipes that can be quickly prepared and slowly savored, from Gnocchi alla Genovese ("simply an excuse for eating pesto") to La Poule au Pot to Gooseberry Fool. Divided into such sections as Soup, Poultry and Game, Vegetables, and Dessert, her 1955 classic includes an overview of herbs as well as chapters on impromptu cooking for holidays and picnics. Chockablock with both invaluable instructions and tart rejoinders to the pallid and the overblown, Summer Cooking is a witty, precise companion for feasting in the warmer months.

Elizabeth David produced a series of simple black and white booklets. Grub Street is delighted to have acquired the rights to these booklets and we are redesigning them as four hardback books in a slip case with specially commissioned beautiful artwork making them the perfect gift item.
