Is There a Nutmeg in the House?: Essays on Practical Cooking with More Than 150 Recipes

Elizabeth David helped change the way we think about and prepare our food. Insisting on authentic recipes and fresh ingredients, she taught that food need not be complicated to be delicious. This volume contains a selection of David's journalistic and occasional work from four decades. Much of it she had chosen herself to be included in this more accessible form. In addition, there is a considerable amount of unpublished material found in her own files or contributed by friends to whom she had given recipes or to whom she had sent letters, either with notes in answer to queries or giving the details of current research. None of the material here appears in any of her previous 9 books. Contains 150+ recipes. A must-have for food lovers everywhere!
