Title: Elizabeth David was a force to be reckoned with.....
Review: I found this book fascinating if chock-full of minute details, but then I am a Mrs. David fan. She was a product of her era and her class, so of course she was a bit of a snob. Anyone who'd expect her to be some Miss Marple-like character probably doesn't know much about history, nor about England! And, many strongly determined people with high standards who are really good at what they do can be difficult at times.The fact is, after the war and in the middle of rationing, she changed the way Britain looked at food. This is no small feat, and presaged the success that Julia Child found in the States with Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her first television show. To Elizabeth David and to Julia Child we owe, among other things, the arugula and fresh herbs we can buy in the supermarket today.My only wish is that I'd met Elizabeth David.
