In 1965 Elizabeth David opened a shop in Pimlico, London, selling Le Creuset pans and hard-to-find kitchen utensils, a store whose window displays proved as influential as her writing. While running the shop, she produced four little booklets sold only there: The Baking of an English Loaf, Dried Herbs, Aromatics and Condiments, English Potted Meats and Fish Pastes, and Syllabubs and Fruit Fools. Simple black-and-white productions at the time, they became rare and highly sought-after collector's items once out of print. Grub Street acquired the rights to these booklets from the David Estate and has redesigned them as four elegant hardback books in a slipcase, featuring specially commissioned artwork that makes the set a genuinely covetable gift item.

Each booklet distils her characteristic clarity and passion for good, honest food into a compact, giftable format, perfect for dipping into
