Is There a Nutmeg in the House?

A direct sequel to An Omelette and a Glass of Wine, this anthology of Elizabeth Davids work contains a selection of her journalistic and occasional writing as well as material from her files, letters and notes, none of which has appeared in any of her nine previous books. Containing over 150 wide-ranging recipes, as well as little-known articles on her many and varied likes and dislikes, this book is characterized by her famous elegance and wit, and, of course, her passion for food: its history, myriad possibilities and role in civilized society.
