Elisabeth's cooking is rooted in the culture of the Mediterranean where she once lived, as well as being inspired by traditional Welsh recipes and by her own garden. In winter she stirs up warming dishes like Spanish biscocho or Welsh winter cawl; in the spring she waits until the first mayflower comes to bloom before planting lettuces, mangetouts and broad beans in her garden. She relies on locally sourced meat for dishes like Partridges with baby onions and cinnamon in red wine, Rabbit with tagliatelle, cream and mustard or Ceps with potatoes and bacon, and rakes the countryside for ingredients like fruit for Hedgerow jelly, nettles for soup, elderflowers for cordial, cake or even fritters. Elisabeth Luard is an award-winning food-writer, journalist and broadcaster. Her cookbooks include European Peasant Cookery and European Festival Food. She has written three memoirs, Family Life, Still Life and My Life as a Wife. She is currently a contributing editor to Waitrose Food Illustrated, has a monthly column in the Oldie. She reviews regularly in the Daily Mail, the Jewish Chronicle, the Scotsman and the Literary Review.
