Since the earliest times the people of Europe have gathered together, either as families or as whole communities, to celebrate their traditional festivals, their high days and holidays, their harvests, their births, weddings and funerals. At Christmas and New Year and Easter, and at the pagan festivals that preceded them, people ate the dishes sanctified by custom for those occasions. The best local produce was served at these feasts but often with the extra savour of the unfamiliar. Exotic spices in cold northern countries, fish from icy Atlantic waters in the sunny south &c. Elisabeth Luard (b.1942), is a food writer, artist and broadcaster. She was born shortly before her father Richard Longmore was killed in action as wing commander of CXX squadron while engaging U-539. Her mother Millicent Baron, remarried a diplomat who took her to his postings in Uruguay, Spain and Mexico. She worked at the satirical magazine Private Eye where she met and married the proprietor and diplomat Nicholas Luard, in 1962. This was her fourth cookery book. Nº de ref. del artículo: 012041
