	Amazon.ca: French Provincial Cooking: Books: Elizabeth David (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Elizabeth David is one of foremost writers on food in the latter half of the 20th century and this book has her most celebrated writing.
		Elizabeth David's books belong in the library of anyone who loves to read and prepare food and this is her best.
		The truly remarkable thing about Elizabeth David was not so much that she could write enthralling and compelling cookbooks ("Mediterranean Food", "French Provincial Cooking", "Italian Cooking"), but that she transformed a glum, drab post-war England by the beauty of her prose and her ability to evoke the sunshine and brilliant colours of the mediterranean.

	NYRB: Elizabeth David
		Elizabeth David (1913 -1992) was brought up in an outwardly idyllic seventeenth-century Sussex farmhouse, Wootton Manor, and her interest in cooking may well have been a response to the less-than-stellar meals on offer there.
		David continued to be a student of her art throughout her life.
		Elizabeth David was awarded a CBE, made a Chevalier de l'Ordre de Mérite Agricole, and—the honor that pleased her most—elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

		The foremost British food writer of her day and author of nine definitive books, David, who was born in 1913 and died in 1992, helped reawaken the postwar British palate while educating, through authentic recipes and compelling investigation, a generation of cooks about food and its joys.

		David was living on handouts from relatives, despite the fact that they disapproved of her antics.
		David was driven to put down her memories of the sights and sounds of Mediterranean markets, the heady scent of herbs, garlic and the "the sound of air gruesomely whistling through sheep's lungs frying in oil".
		Elizabeth David insisted that everything there is to know about her is in her books.

	Amazon.com: Italian Food (Penguin Classics): Books: Elizabeth David,Julia Child (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		David's achievement, which required a full year's research in Italy, can only be appreciated when you realize that she was working in a climate of opinion in England which saw Italian cuisine as very dull, being nothing more than variations on pasta and veal.
		David's own `Italian Food' make it clear that the elder Norman Douglas was her primary mentor in establishing her professional interest in food and writing about it at a very high standard.
		David's high standards are evident when you compare her writing with that of Tony May in his recent handbook, `Italian Cuisine' where I found several mistakes in identifying ingredients.

	ABC TV Documentaries: In The Footsteps of Elizabeth David
		In the first of a two-part documentary on the life of Elizabeth David, Chris Patten, recently appointed European Commissioner, traces the famous food writer's early years, from her conservative upbringing in rural England and a reckless odyssey through war torn Europe with an unsuitable lover to a loveless marriage to a British Colonel in Cairo.
		David's experiences in Europe inspired a passion for the Mediterranean that never left her - a passion that was to inspire many pioneering cookery books.
		In each country the lovers visited, Elizabeth sampled the local fare and collected recipes but soon the realities of war caught up with them and their Greek idyll, the island of Syros, was bombed.

		David first encountered the recipe, and why the recipe is done the way it is. While Julia Child has a great way about her writing that makes reading her recipes almost as much fun as watching her PBS shows, there is not much personal material.
		David's recipe format, for example, displays delightful informality; eschewing the traditional list of ingredients followed by turgid instructions, she simply writes freeform paragraphs and intersperses clever and reassuring comments ("a tablespoon of rum won't hurt," "don't be alarmed by...").
		Elizabeth David was a prolific writer who between 1950 and 1994 published nine books, most of which are considered classics amongst food professionals; portions of all of her books appear in this "best of" volume.

		The title of this book actually refers to another situation in which Elizabeth David becomes disappointed with restaurants not keeping a nutmeg grinder for their clients to use when they are served various dishes with cheese or pasta.
		Elizabeth David’s writing in “Is there a Nutmeg in the House” is much more scholarly than I had expected.
		Elizabeth spends a great deal of time discussing “oxo cubes” and discusses the fear cooks feel when a recipe calls for “stock.” I remember such a fear before I discovered stock pastes.

	Elizabeth David's Christmas by Elizabeth David (Compiled by Jill Norman) \| PopMatters Book Review
		Elizabeth David's Christmas, compiled posthumously by David's longtime friend Jill Norman, is not so much a cookbook as it is a rambling journal from a bygone era.
		David rose to prominence during World War II, teaching an entire generation how to cook when most common ingredients were either strictly rationed or totally unavailable.
		It's a bit of a surprise that the most touching and unique entry in David's book is the final one, an essay she originally published in 1964.

	Biography of Elizabeth David
		Elizabeth David has a sterling reputation for being an exquisite food writer-before there was such a phenomena as 'foodies' or 24 hour cable television devoted to food arcana, there was Mrs.
		With a sharp eye, a sometimes poison pen, and a sense of responsibility to bring authentic dishes authentically produced for her readers, she carved out a distinguished role in the world of food writing.
		(Elizabeth David's youth and later years were a succession of lovers, with only a brief marriage in early middle age to break with unconvention.) And how had she come to adopt such a free life as this-travel, writing, love, passion-from such a propriety bound childhood?

	Lunch With Elizabeth David
		While David's spirit suffuses the novel, she appears only fleetingly; another historical figure plays the leading role.
		Douglas taught David many things about food and life; he inscribed a copy of one of his books to her: ''Always do as you please and send everybody to Hell, and take the consequences.'' In Douglas's case, doing as he pleased meant dalliances with young boys, and the consequences included a brief stay in jail.
		Much of this absorbing novel is told from the point of view of one of Douglas's many ''nephews,'' Eric Wolton, a boy who is only 12 years old when Douglas plucks him from a dreary working-class life to be his companion as he journeys through Calabria.
