Throughout her distinguished career Elizabeth David wrote many articles on Christmas food, testing her recipes and honing her skills on the Christmas preparations for her sister's family, which included five children. She put together a file of articles, recipes and notes, intending to publish them as a book, for which, much later, she wrote and introduction, and this file recently came to light among her papers.
Beautifully written and illustrated, 'Elizabeth David's Christmas' contains the whole of this file of around 150 recipes, together with a selection of the articles and her introduction. Designed to take the strain out of providing festive food - from making preparations and using leftovers to avoiding hectic last-minute cooking - this is the ultimate Christmas food book.
All the classics are here: mince pies, stuffings, sauces and, or course, turkey, as well as simple first courses, party dishes, ice creams and a range of desserts that make Elizabeth David's Christmas irresistible festive fare.
