The Barricaded Larder

Elisabeth Luard's regular column in "The Field" is one of the magazine's most popular features. Now, for the first time, the acclaimed author of "European Peasant Cookery: The Rich Tradition" has gathered together a selection of those pieces, illustrated with her own exquisite line drawings, to present an eclectic and quite individual blend of food, history and travel writing. In recipes ranging from Moroccan salted lemons and pickled peaches to sauté of partridges with watercress sauce and an unforgettable ecumenical Simnel cake, Elisabeth Luard brings alive her intimate knowledge of the European culinary heritage. "The Princess and the Pheasant" is a wholly delightful celebration of the very best of food and wine writing destined to take its place alongside such classics of the genre as Elizabeth David's "An Omelette and a Glass of Wine". A lifelong student of the history of cooking, Elisabeth Luard has lived abroad for long periods, notably in France, Spain and Italy. She is married to the writer Nicholas Luard and has four grown-up children.

BANTAM PRESS

The warm glow of embers in the hearth, a savoury broth simmering in the cooking pot, a flitch of bacon smoking in the chimney - until recently these were not nostalgic pleasures, they were the stuff of life. European peasant cookery is as much part of our heritage as our cathedrals and castles, the foundation on which all our subsequent cuisines are based. It developed locally, according to the climate and the availability of foodstuffs, changing only slightly to incorporate new ingredients as trade routes opened up. A rich oral tradition, passed down through the generations, peasant cookery offers healthy, real food - the antithesis of fast-food catering - and is as relevant now as it was centuries ago. This book records the bedrock of European cookery and rediscovers what has been lost through over-refinement. The sixteen chapters each deal with a basic ingredient - from "Fish and Food from the Sea" and "Pork and Storehouse Meats" to "Herbs and Fungi" and "Fruits, Berries and Nuts" and each of the over 500 recipes including suggestions for varying the dish and for appropriate accompaniments, including wine.
