Preface by Simon Hopkinson. Illus. with decorations by Juliet Renny and from watercolors by Sophie MacCarthy. 9.75x7", cloth-backed dec. boards, slipcase. London: Folio Society, 2008.
Sophie MacCarthy's iconic watercolours enliven both the cover and the pages of the book. First published in 1962, Elizabeth David's culinary odyssey through provincial France forever changed the way we think about food. With elegant simplicity, David explores the authentic flavors and textures of time-honored cuisines from such provinces as Alsace, Provence, Brittany, and the Savoie. Full of cooking ideas and recipes, French Provincial Cooking is a scholarly yet straightforward celebration of the traditions of French regional cooking.
Fine.
