Introduction (Appreciation of historical)

appreciation of historical continuity in food that sustains a country's cultural identity and respect for gastronomy.

So how fortunate we are to have this handsome reprint of Lady Clark's brilliant compendium. This is a volume that deserves the highest of compliments, for it is a book about eating that you can enjoy and trust. I would defy anyone not to become a better cook for reading it.
