Synopsis
'It's all in my books,' Elizabeth David used to say when fending off journalists asking quesions about her private life. Yet her famous cookery books - which changed the quality of cooking in post-war England - revealed little of the human and passionate person who wrote them. Artemis Cooper had unique access to Elizabeth David's private papers and archives while writing this acclaimed biography. These archives included many intriguing letters written by David herself which throw considerable light on the enigma of her character. WRITING AT THE KITCHEN TABLE reveals the whole story of Elizabeth David - one that even some of her closest friends never knew.
