An Omelette and a Glass of Wine

This collection gathers David's journalism and occasional pieces on food, shopping, and the table, written over many years for papers and magazines. The essays move among French and English markets, kitchens, and restaurants: how to choose ingredients, what a simple meal can be, the habits of cooks she admires, and the difference between home eating and culinary fashion. Recipes appear inside the prose rather than as a course-by-course manual. The title names a preferred supper of eggs, wine, and not much else. The book is a set of food essays, not a systematic cookbook and not a memoir of a career.

Quarter-bound in blue buckram with colour picture printed Modigliani paper sides. Blue slipcase.
