Throughout her distinguished career, eminent food writer Elizabeth David published many articles on Christmas cooking and countless seasonal recipes. Elizabeth David's Christmas brings these together into one volume. Containing over 150 recipes, all the classics are here -- mince pies, stuffings, sauces and -- of course -- the perfect turkey, as well as simple party dishes, indulgent desserts and some less conventional ideas inspired by the author's travels and her own personal favourites. Peppered with her practical advice and wry commentary, this book will inspire an elegant and memorable Christmas while taking the strain out of cooking for a crowd.
