You don't turn to Elizabeth David for nannying, step-by-step instruction, or precise amounts and timing. She assumes you know the basics, and is a writer who offers inspiration, and wonderful, opinionated prose. Her recipes are timeless, and all her books wonderful works of reference (and tirelessly researched) as well as beautiful reads. Her instructions for omelettes are unbeatable.
Elizabeth David was the doyenne of food writer, credited with bringing French and Italian cuisine into British dining rooms. But an extraordinary study of private notes made by Elizabeth David in her collection of cookery books has revealed exactly what she thought of her rivals. The author, whose own publications such as Mediterranean Food, French Country Cooking and Summer Cooking became best-sellers, and if you are curious about what infallible recipe she has for the perfect omelette, you can now find it here.
