Romantic, inspirational, sparkling. A friend gave me a copy when I was 15 or 16. I devoured it like a novel, wanted to cook everything in it.

How can you not love it, beautifully written, a lot of history. David and Grigson changed the way we write about food.

Impossible to pick just one E. David but as I have other French cookbooks I'm going for this
