Family Life: Birth Death and the Whole Damn Thing

About this book

Food - meals eaten together in many different places and circumstances - is the common thread of this book whose underlying idea is that the family at the table is the source of its strength. The book recounts the Luard familys life in a cork-oak forest in southern Spain a snow-bound farmhouse in Languedoc or a sheep-farm in Northamptonshire. Containing anecdote humour and curious food-lore this book is written by the author of "European Festival Food" and "The Barricaded Larder". Elizabeth Luard features in a TV series based upon her book "European Peasant Cookery".
