Lyhyt elämäkerta
Elizabeth Gwynne was born in Yorkshire and grew up in Sussex. In 1930, she went to Paris and enrolled at the Sorbonne for a course in French history, literature and architecture. On her return to England, she joined the Oxford Repertory Company and later the Open Air Theatre in London the following year. During World War II, she worked for British military intelligence in Egypt where she met and married Lt.-Col. Tony David, but the marriage was brief. After the war, Elizabeth David returned to England and began writing a series of articles about Mediterranean food. Books on French and Italian cuisine followed; within 10 years, Elizabeth David had become a major influence on British cooking.

I had never heard of Ms. David until I read "Something to Declare" by Julian Barnes, one of the collected essays is about her and her recipes. She comes off as a British Julia Child. Many of the cookbooks I have contain brief essays about the culture and history of specific region of the applicable recipes, but never really made much of an effort to read them. This book has inspired me to actually go through though books and read up and not just dive in to the food.

The recipes do require a bit of foreknowledge of food and skill in the kitchen, definitely not for beginners. Some of the recipes probably aren't appropriate for the times either (I haven't done any of the Julia Child aspic recipes and I probably won't start with this one), but some of the recipes looks very intriguing and the loose structure of the recipes leave lots of room for adjustment and creativity.… (lisätietoja)

When I first picked up Mediterranean Cooking I was trying to decide if Elizabeth David truly expected the everyday housewife to cook from this book. The magic of her writing is that her methods as far as cooking is concerned are unconventional and languid. Who else measures their olive oil by the wineglass? Even if you don't consider yourself a gourmet cook, The Book of Mediterranean Cooking is a sophisticated book to have on your shelf. It just looks impressive. It's one of those cookbooks you can pull down to read on a snowy New England night and dream of a mile-long Tuscan table laden with meats and cheeses and fruits, jugs of green olive oil, freshly pressed while a handsome someone in a long white apron pours you ruby red wine by the barrel.… (lisätietoja)
