Published eight months after the first edition. DAVID'S FIRST BOOK AND THE FIRST OF THE THREE VOLUMES THAT WOULD CHANGE ENGLISH COOKING FOR EVER. Lehmann's first edition of 1950 was a small print run in relative terms expensive and intended to appeal primarily to the converted. Dedicated to Veronica Nicholson it was also the work that combined for the first time David's highly characteristic style with Minton's wonderfully complementary illustrations. Certainly it can be argued that this is the most influential English cookery book of the twentieth century. EXTREMELY SCARCE IN ANYTHING LIKE THIS CONDITION John Lehmann, hardcover

In her introduction she dispels the myth still encountered that all French families eat grand rich meals: "A certain amount of nonsense is talked about the richness of the food to be found in all French homes. It is true that the standard is much higher than that of most English households.Those who care to look for it.will find the justification of France's culinary reputation in the provinces."

The class is crowded around a table in a spacious high-ceilinged kitchen the instructor identified as the woman with the spoon pinned to her dress. The kitchen table is the portion of the photograph that is most poorly fixed though it appears the women are learning to bake--one woman uses a wooden spoon to mix batter in a bowl another pensively holds her rolling pin. .
