Illus. with photographs. 10.25×7.5″, jacket. First American Edition. NY: Antheneum, 1983.

In the early 1980s, British author Jane Grigson (19281990) was enlisted by the Observer to travel Europe and write about each countrys cuisine. Grigsons introductory essays and headnotes offer the anecdotal, historical, and personal perspective weve come to expect from the inquisitive and opinionated writer. Take, for instance, her description of a Galician soup:

The ingredients may sound unpromising, but this soup is delicate to eat and beautiful to look at. There are many versions, but essential items are beans, potatoes, some kind of ham flavouring and cabbage or kale as dark green as you can find it. The leggy cabbage of Galiciais unfamiliar to us here. It is one of several surprising things that you see in green Galicia, which is a land for discovery.

Ownership label to lower front pastedown, else very good.
