French Country Cooking - first published in 1951 - is filled with authentic and splendid recipes drawn from across the regions of France. Showing how each area has a particular and unique flavour for its foods, derived as they are from local ingredients, Elizabeth David explores the astonishing diversity of French cuisine.
