Riassunto

This 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 the successful, self-contained woman she presented to the world. "It's all in mybooks", Elizabeth used to say when fending off journalists. Yet her famous cookery books revealed little of the human and passionate woman who wrote them. Many of the most intriguing letters in this collection are her own, and they throw considerable light on the enigma of her character. This book contains the whole story - one that some of even her closest friends never knew.
