So Grub Street is delighted to have acquired the rights to these booklets from the David Estate and we are redesigning them as four hardback books in a slip case.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1965, Elizabeth David opened a shop in Pimlico, London, where she sold Le Creuset pans and other hard-to-get-hold-of kitchen utensils. The store, with its marvelous window displays, was as influential as her books would eventually be, pioneering a new generation of shops devoted exclusively to kitchenware. Rosi Hanson, who worked in David's shop for two years says, \"She was good fun, and the shop was magical. She rather loved being a shopkeeper, perhaps because it gave her a rest from writing. If someone wanted some very specific piece of equipment, I often heard her say: 'If you could come back, I think I may have one at home.' On evenings when we stayed late to do the windows, she would make a picnic for us all to eat: terrine, things in jelly.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile she was still involved with the shop which bore her name, Elizabeth David Ltd, she produced a series of four booklets: \u003ci\u003eThe Baking of an English Loaf\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDried Herbs, Aromatics and Condiments\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEnglish Potted Meats and Fish Pastes\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSyllabubs and Fruit Fools\u003c\/i\u003e which were sold exclusively in the shop. They were simple black and white productions which have now become rare, highly sought-after and very expensive collector's items. Grub Street is delighted to have acquired the rights to these booklets from the David Estate and we have redesigned them as four hardback books in a slip case with specially commissioned beautiful artwork making them the perfect gift item. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, for the first time in over 50 years, these charming works will be available once again. Elizabeth David's books are all still in print today and they keep selling in quantities to each new generation of cooks who discover her and fall under her spell. And you can see her influence in the cooking of chefs such as Jeremy Lee, Shaun Hill, and Rowley Leigh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 x 6.6 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 30, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765173813536,"sku":"9781911667087","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/6d6720af258686af13a33b67596fdb43.webp?v=1780263039","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-elizabeth-david-collection-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
