Elizabeth David: Seasonal Food


Dramatization of the turbulent life of British cookery writer Elizabeth David (1913 - 1992), the original domestic goddess. She strongly influenced the revitalisation of the art of home cookery with articles and books about European cuisines and traditional British dishes. She published her first book of Mediterranean Food in 1950, and went on to write eight more books that have sold more than two million copies worldwide. Her public image was of an elegant, respectable and somewhat austere figure. In reality, Elizabeth was a deeply unconventional person with a profound passion for food, life and men.

“A world devoid of tomato soup, tomato sauce, tomato ketchup and tomato paste is hard to visualize. Could the tin and processed food industries have got where they have without the benefit of the tomato compounds which colour, flavour, thicken and conceal so many deficiencies? How did the Italians eat spaghetti before the advent of the tomato? Was there such a thing as tomato-less Neapolitan pizza?”
Elizabeth David, An Omelette and a Glass of Wine, 1984
