I think if I had to choose one cookbook out of mine, I would choose her "French Provincial Cooking", first published in 1960. She changed the way we cook. I used to enjoy the book descriptions in a particular cookbooks catalogue. When I mentioned this to the owner, he said that he had to keep the descriptions accurate "because Elizabeth David reads them".Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15225743105419715015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-30376555137524610442013-02-26T07:18:21.518-08:002013-02-26T07:18:21.518-08:00Crafty Green Boyfriend makes wonderful omelettes, ...Crafty Green Boyfriend makes wonderful omelettes, I'll have to share that with him!
