545 |a In 1965 David opened a kitchen shop in London, stocking it with the best cooking equipment available. David's contribution to the gastronomic arts was recognized with numerous awards, including the first Andre Simon memorial prize, an Order of the British Empire, and a Commander of the Order of the British Empire 
545 |a On her return to London, David wrote cooking articles and published A Book of Mediterranean Food (1950), a mixture of recipes and culinary lore and an introduction to culture as food. David's first book was followed by French Country Cooking (1951), Italian Food (1954), Summer Cooking (1955) and French Provincial Cooking (1960). She then wrote two books on the traditions of English food: Spices, Salt and Aromatics in the English Kitchen (1970) and English Bread and Yeast Cookery (1977). An Omelette and a Glass of Wine, a collection of her work for Vogue, The Spectator and Nova, was published in 1984, and another collection of articles, Is There a Nutmeg in the House? was published posthumously in 2000 
545 |a One of four daughters of Rupert Gwynne, Conservative M.P. for Eastborne, Elizabeth David (1913-1992) became the foremost British food writer of her day, publishing nine definitive books that helped reawaken the postwar British palate while educating a generation of cooks about food and its joys. Introduced to French food at age 16 while studying at the Sorbonne, David lived in Italy, Greece, and Cairo, where she worked for the British Ministry of Information during World War II and met and married Anthony David, an officer in the Indian army
