Bibliography, June 2016

BOTM: E.David, An omelette and a glass of wine

J. Crace, All that follows
M. Holland, The edible atlas: Around the world in thirty-nine cuisines
R. Murphy, The Joy of Tax
N. Mitford (ed.), Noblesse Oblige
J. Roth, What I saw: Berlin 1920-23

That Elizabeth David is marvellous is not in doubt; that her journalism would be rewarding was. I need not have worried. This, a collection of her best pieces, is excellent: elegant, interesting and often funny. It beat out Roth's also excellent journalism on a more sombre subject.
