Review
It is difficult to think of any home that can do without Elizabeth David's French Provincial Cooking. --The Observer
Voted one of the top 45 cookbooks of all time by New York's Village Voice --Village Voice
If I had to go on a desert island I'd take this with me. Elizabeth is brilliant at telling stories about the food she cooks. The text is threaded with memories of the places and people she loved. Being such an emotional writer, you can almost taste the food as you're reading.
--Oz Clarke, The Daily Express
French Provincial Cooking is one of the foundations of the way we cook today - over the past 50 years, it has influenced untold numbers of cooks, restaurant chefs and food writers. --Charles Campion, Country Life
From the Back Cover
'Brilliant reading, enthralling and exciting, as well as great cookery. The ultimate book in every way' Gary Rhodes, The Times
French Provincial Cooking - first published in 1960 - is the classic work on French regional cuisine. Providing simple recipes like omelettes, soufflés, soups and salads, it also offers more complex fare such as pâtés, cassoulets, roasts and puddings.
Readable, inspiring and entertainingly informative, French Provincial Cooking is the perfect place to go for anyone wanting to bring a little France into their home.
'Readers are plunged, through the passion and skill of her writing, deep into the sights and scents of the markets and kitchens of rural France' Daily Telegraph
'A joy to read. David's descriptions of France are so wonderful you can almost smell the garlic' Jilly Cooper, Sunday Express

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket photo by Anthony Denney (illustrator). Book Club. First published in 1960, this is a second revised impression by Michael Joseph for the Cookery Book Club of 1965. Edge wear, chipping and small loss to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed, slight yellowing and time staining to white parts of jacket, slight offsetting to prelims, not price clipped (no price), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 519pp, illustrated. Classic French regional cuisine. Describing simple recipes like omelettes, soufflés, soups and salads, it also offers more complex fare such as pates, cassoulets, roasts and puddings. Returning to England after the War, Elizabeth David (1913-92), was horrified at the bad food and poor cooking of austerity Britain. She introduced a generation of British cooks to Mediterranean food hitherto barely known in Britain, such as pasta, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salami, aubergines, red and green peppers, and courgettes. Quite a scarce book even in this Book Club edition. Seller Inventory # 010939
