Anglocentric? Not hardly
9 febbraio 2002
Di Un cliente
- Pubblicato su Amazon.com
Formato:Rilegato
I find it odd that the previous reviewer considered Elizabeth David "Anglocentric," as she spent most of her life irritating her fellow Englishmen and -women by attempting to awaken them to cuisines other than their own. In my opinion, David is possibly the finest food writer ever. Though not quite as good as AN OMELETTE AND A GLASS OF WINE, this book hardly constitutes her "dregs."

A fine and quirky food mind on show

Elizabeth David wrote cookbooks and food essays; many of the more personal ones were already collected in the amazing and wonderous An Omelette and a Glass of Wine. But this book has plenty of gems, too. I don't agree with everything she says, but I certainly want to listen to her saying it.
Get An Omelette and a Glass of Wine first, then this one if you want more.

a must-read for all food lovers
10 gennaio 2003
Di Karen Sampson Hudson
- Pubblicato su Amazon.com
Formato:Brossura
Elizabeth David is the woman who has restored good eating to England. For many decades the British were known for what might tactfully be called "plain cooking"---overdone roasts, vegetables boiled beyond recognition, oversweet, gooey desserts. In her eight books and in her columns, David enthusiastically re-introduced the British to fresh vegetables, delicate sauces, simple desserts, and flavorful, whole-grain bread.
At the age of 16, this daughter of the landed gentry was sent to France for a cultural education and came home with a lifelong passion for good cooking. "Is There a Nutmeg in the House" is a complilation of her writings from forty years, some of which has not been published before.
David's writing style is recognizably British, opinionated, chatty, not excessively organized, and a bit "fussy", for want of a better term. This only added to the pleasure of reading her, for this reviewer; although a person used to the standard American format for providing recipes, with the ingredients listed in the order of combination, and step by step instruction, will not find that in David.
Elizabeth David was a national treasure for England, and her lifelong passion for "cookery" earns her a place on the bookshelf of many American kitchens as well.
