An Omelette And a Glass of Wine

'She has the intelligence, subtlety, sensuality, courage and creative force of the true artist' - Wine and Food

A classic in its genre, An Omelette and a Glass of Wine compiles Elizabeth David's short pieces on food and wine.

A bestseller when it was first published in 1984, much of David's finest writing featured in magazines and newspapers such as the Spectator, the Sunday Times and Harper's, and these pieces contain tantalizing glimpses of her very private life.

An Omelette and a Glass of Wine is an exquisite collection that demonstrates the talent that made Elizabeth David the most celebrated food writer of her time.
