Her clear prose is as crisp, evocative and relevant today as it ever was. Elizabeth gives us recipes and information about produce that leap off the page. Some of what she writes about is slightly outdated such as her reference to olive oil as something rather expensively sold in small bottles from a pharmacy but this only reminds us of how certain things have changed in a positive way re accessibility of international ingredients. The few lively line drawings and some photos included in this book add to its interest & give it another edge. *This is a NEAR VG++ text copy of the 1st./1st. with some minor age and light shelf wear reducing it to VG. 0
