Description

Elizabeth David's Omelette and a Glass of Wine is a collection of 62 articles originally written for various publications between 1955 and 1984. This volume offers a delightful exploration of food, cooking, and the author's personal experiences. The essays range from the story of how her own cookery writing began to accounts of restaurants in provincial France, white truffles in Piedmont, and wild risottos on the Venetian lagoon. David shares her appreciation for books, people who influenced her, places she loved, and the delicious meals she enjoyed. Many of these pieces are still highly personal and engaging today. The book includes a range of topics, from cooking techniques to travel experiences, with some articles including recipes. It is a nicely sized volume that can be enjoyed on its own or taken on a trip, offering a rich store of information and literary grace.
