Nichola McAuliffe takes us on a culinary journey as she reads extracts from essays written by Britain's most inspirational food writer Elizabeth David.

These essays and articles are taken from her penultimate collection 'An Omelette and a Glass of Wine'. They show David's writing to be both witty and elegant and her passion for food, its history and its role in society come shining through these extracts.
