The classic and imaginative Summer cookbook

'David's books are stunningly well written ... full of history and anecdote'

Observer

Summer Cooking - first published in 1955 - is a wonderful selection of dishes, for table, buffet and picnic, that are light, easy to prepare and based on seasonal ingredients.

Elizabeth David shows how an imaginative use of herbs can enhance even the simplest meals, whether egg, fish or meat, while her recipes range from a simple salade ni oise to strawberry souffle. Finally, chapters on hors d'oeuvres, summer soups, vegetables, sauces and sweets are full of ideas for fresh, cool food all summer long.

Elizabeth David is the woman who changed the face of British cooking. She introduced post-war Britain to the sun-drenched delights of the Mediterranean and her recipes brought new flavours and aromas into kitchens across Britain.
