'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.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the course of her lifetime Elizabeth David transformed the way we eat. When "A Book of Mediterranean Food" appeared in 1950 it inspired a cookery revolution, bringing entirely new flavours and ingredients to the drab, post-war British diet. Yet her classic cookery books show little of the colourful personality behind the public persona. Here, with extensive access to Elizabeth David's private letters and papers, Artemis Cooper reveals an adventurous, rebellious and uncompromising personality - a woman with a passion for food, life and men. This is the whole story: of her strong friendships, her failed marriage, tempestuous affairs and the greatest love of her life. It is a story that even some of the closest friends never knew. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GOR001193611
