Where it came from
Taste of the Sun is a thoughtfully curated anthology of Elizabeth David's earlier works, specifically drawing from her seminal books Mediterranean Food, French Country Cooking, and Summer Cooking. First published in 2011 by Penguin, this collection was designed to introduce a new generation of home cooks to David’s evocative prose and her revolutionary approach to ingredient-focused cooking, which fundamentally reshaped the British culinary landscape in the post-war era.
The editorial selection captures David’s signature style—a blend of travelogue, history, and practical instruction that prioritizes the quality of produce over technical complexity. By stripping away the constraints of mid-century rationing, David’s writing encouraged a Mediterranean aesthetic that emphasized olive oil, fresh herbs, and sun-ripened vegetables. This volume serves as an essential primer on her legacy, honoring the precise, spare, and deeply influential voice that established her as one of the most respected food writers in the twentieth century.
