Is There A Nutmeg In The House?: Essays On Practical Cooking With More Than 150 Recipes (2002) - Plot & Excerpts

Elizabeth David was a cookery writer who apparently revolutionised British cooking after the Second World War by writing about Mediterranean food. So she's sort of the grand-daddy of them all, seminal influence, blah blah blah. Unfortunately, I really didn't get on with this collection of articles by her. I found her writing had a distinct undertone of "I'm trying to educate you stupid plebs; why aren't you listening!" which was rather off-putting, and if she had a sense of humour, it was not allowed out when she was writing. The librarian who dug the book out of storage for me informed me cheerfully that the last time anyone had wanted it was 2003. As far as I'm concerned it can go back into storage until 3003 (at which point it will perhaps be a useful primary source for social historians).(Also, her reasons for objecting to the humble garlic press are entirely idiotic.)
