She introduced a dreary post-war Britain to the sun-drenched culinary delights of the Mediterranean; to foods like olive oil, pasta, and garlic, to fresh herbs like basil and to vegetables like zucchini and eggplant—foods that have become the staples of our diets today. Her recipes brought color and life into kitchens everywhere, yet her books never contained any photographs. Now, published for the first time, comes this full color, beautifully illustrated collection of her most inspiring and delicious dishes. Never before have her recipes been photographed to showcase the richness and variety of the food that she was so passionate about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Elizabeth's first book, her instant classic \u003cem\u003eMediterranean Food\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAt Elizabeth David's Table\u003c\/em\u003e has twelve chapters guiding the reader from tasty soups and starters, through to meat, fish and desserts.

She has so much more to tell us than merely how to cook. Her recipes are simple, sensuous and intuitive.  They combine taste, texture and color. But reading between the lines you come to understand that what Elizabeth David is really saying is to savor every minute of your life.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRuth Reichl\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI first read Elizabeth David’s books when I was a young student living in London in the late 1960s-and fell wholly in love. Everything about her felt real to me: Her honest recipes, enticing prose, and maybe most of all, her unflagging integrity. Countless times, I pored over favorite passages for Provençal lunches, and prepared as many of her dishes as I could in my tiny makeshift kitchen. I still have those books: Little paperbacks with taped-together spines, splattered with olive oil [the margins of their yellowed pages punctuated with my penciled exclamation points.] I wanted my restaurant to be exactly like the pictures on their covers.  Forty 40 years later, I am still surprised every time I read an Elizabeth David sentence; she defines what it is to be a true food writer, and her words are timeless. This beautiful illustrated anthology reveals her bright spirit-she is the vision of life around the table, wineglass in hand. She defends the authentic and the seasonal, and champions simplicity and beauty in the kitchen. - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlice Waters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the happiest and truest statement I’ve ever read about cooking is Elizabeth David’s observation that fine meals require “organization and experience which is a pleasure to acquire.” Every passionate cook knows this. That sensibility is in every word she wrote and why her writing is as timeless as the cuisines she describes. Re-reading her recipes, I am struck again, and again, that each is a seductive little invitation to cook. And if you love to cook, discovering her work is surely one of the greatest pleasures of all. - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJudy Rodgers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“[Elizabeth David] was James Beard, Julia Child, and MFK Fisher rolled into one…  She has so much more to tell us than merely how to cook... reading between the lines you come to understand that what Elizabeth David is really saying is to savor every minute of your life.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRuth Reichl\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I am still surprised every time I read Elizabeth David; she defines what it is to be a true food writer, and her words are timeless.
