Overview of Squirrel Pie (and other stories): Adventures in Food Across the Globe Book

Sacrilegious to say it but Elizabeth Luard even beats Elizabeth David. Exquisite writing and wonderful food and funny too Prue Leith Elisabeth Luard proves that no matter where you are, there is food to be gathered, or hunted, or found. Squirrel Pie is a beautifully written tribute to food that has all but vanished from our everyday lives Alice WatersElisabeth Luard, one of the food world s most entertaining and evocative writers, has travelled extensively throughout her life, meeting fascinating people, observing different cultures and uncovering extraordinary ingredients in unusual places. In this enchanting food memoir, she shares tales and dishes gathered from her global ramblings.With refreshing honesty and warmth, she recounts anecdotes of the many places she has visited: scouring for snails in Crete, sampling exotic spices in Ethiopia and tasting pampered oysters in Tasmania. She describes encounters with a cellarer-in-chief and a mushroom-king and explains why stress is good news for fruit and vegetables and how to spot a truffle lurking under an oak tree. Divided into four landscapes rivers, islands, deserts and forests Elisabeth s stories are coupled with more than fifty authentic recipes, each one a reflection of its unique place of origin, including Boston bean-pot, Hawaiian poke, Cretan bouboutie, mung-bean roti, roasted buttered coffee beans, Anzac biscuits and Sardinian lemon macaroons. Illustrated with Elisabeth s own sketches, Squirrel Pie will appeal to anyone with a taste for travel and an affinity for that most universal of languages, food.
