***WHAT WE'RE READING***
"Elizabeth David: Writing at the Kitchen Table"
by Artemis Cooper
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0718142241/entertainments08
This new biography is based on Elizabeth David's private
papers and extensive interviews. It reveals the tensions
between her extraordinary private life and the image of
successful self-contained woman she presented to the world.
Many of the most intriguing letters in this collection are
her own and they throw considerable light on her character.
This biography tells the story behind Elizabeth David--a story
that even some of her best friends never knew.

"The Oxford Companion to Food"
by Alan Davidson
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0192115790/entertainments08
Alan Davidson's "Oxford Companion to Food" has been over 20
years in the assembling but here it is and it is superlatively
worth the wait. In fact, superlatives fall silent. A huge and
authoritative dictionary of 2,650 entries on just about every
conceivable foodstuff, seasoning, cuisine, cooking method,
historical survey, significant personage and explication of
myth; it is supplemented by some 40 longer articles on key
items.

"New British Classics"
by Gary Rhodes
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0563551003/entertainments08
Accompanying a major new BBC2 six-part series, the indomitable
Gary Rhodes is back with his most ambitious collection of
recipes yet. Famed for his mouth-watering variations on
traditional British favourites, Gary sets out on a quest to
modernise and enhance many classic dishes, updating them for
the new millennium with a host of new and exciting ideas.

***INTERVIEW WITH OZ CLARKE***
Oz Clarke is one of the world's leading wine experts whose
formidable reputation is based on his extensive wine knowledge
and accessible, no-nonsense approach. His "Encyclopedia of Wine"
is sensuous, warm, precise, concise and witty--just like its
author. For Amazon.co.uk, Robin Davidson speaks to the
entertaining wine writer about saddle-soap and silk stockings.

***INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT CARRIER***
Robert Carrier, cookery writer, teacher, restaurateur, TV
showman, traveller and bon viveur, is the author of what has
become the greatest cookery classic of modern times: "Great
Dishes of the World". He has now compiled a book of the "Great
Dishes of Spain" and discovers a whole new cuisine, influenced
by the Moors, gypsies and great Spanish chefs. It's food that
will have your taste buds dancing the flamenco.
