NotesIn her 35 years of writing about food, Elizabeth David contributed articles to a number of high-profile publications, including the Spectator, Gourmet magazine and Vogue. An Omelette and a Glass of Wine brings together the best of these writings, showcasing David’s unique style and approach to her work. The collection includes recipes, from riso ricco to Welsh salt duck, but here her articles are much broader in scope, and they revolutionised the food-writing genre. Subjects range from surveys of cookery writers from the past, accounts of restaurants and markets in provincial France, and places David loved and delicious meals she enjoyed.
