Before Elizabeth David died in 1992 she & her editor, Jill Norman, had begun work on a volume of ” The Best of” but then her health deteriorated & the project was shelved. The idea was revived in 1996 when chefs & writers & Elizabeth`s many friends, were invited to select their favourite articles & recipes. Some sent notes explaining their choice, others provided an anecdote or a recollection about her, others sent lists of recipes they had been using for years. This book is the fruit of that harvest of recommendations & the names of the contributors, who number among them some of our finest food writers such as Simon Hopkinson, Alice Waters, Sally Clarke, Richard Olney, Paul Levy & Anne Willan, appear after the pieces they had chosen along with their notes. The extracts & recipes which make up ” South Wind Through the Kitchen” are drawn from all Elizabeth David`s books, namely ”A Book of Mediterranean Food”, ” French Country Cooking”, ” Italian Food”, ” Sumer Cooking”, ” French Provincial Cooking”, ” Spices, Salt & Aromatics in the English Kitchen”, ” English Bread & Yeast Cookery”, ” An Omelette & a Glass of Wine”, & ” Harvest of the Cold Months”. There are over 200 recipes in the book organised around courses & ingredients such as eggs & cheese, fish & shellfish, meat, poultry & game, vegetables, pasta, pulses & grains, sauces, sweet dishes & cakes, preserves, & bread, all interspersed with extracts & articles making it a delightful compendium to dip into as well as cook from. ...

Map No. L-11 in the ONC series: military topographic survey mapping covering the world's land masses & significant islands at 1:1, 000, 000. The maps are useful as general topographical coverage where nothing else is available, although they are designed primarily as flying charts for military aircraft. ONC stands for Operational Navigation Chart. Relief is portrayed by a combination of contours (basic interval 1000ft, intermediate contours shown where appropriate), elevation tinting & relief shading, plus spot heights. Towns, villages, major roads, railways & airports are shown but please note that many of the smaller settlements are not named & the road information is not necessarily up to date, as compilation & revision dates vary. Some air navigation information also appears on the map, such as radio beacons & restricted flying zones. Each ONC chart has both UTM & latitude/longitude grids overprinted on it, with additional margin ticks. IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE: The series is gradually being withdrawn from sale to the general public & some sheets may no longer be available when ordered by us. Due to the nature of the map projection assembling these sheets to make a larger map is not recommended. in addition, colours used for relief are not constant throughout the series. In some areas of central Africa & South America the maps have blank spaces, reflecting localized deficiencies or inconsistencies in the survey data.

The bishop was feeling rather sea-sick. Confoundedly sea-sick, in fact. An Anglican bishop, on recuperative leave from his African diocese, alights at the island of Nepthene for a short stay on his passage to England. Soon he is caught up in the wild and exuberant antics of visitors and residents. Norman Douglas`s famed, and infamous, novel of Capri is a hedonistic journey and an unforgettable classic.
