Elizabeth Luard's prose is so colourful it transports you, and you can almost taste the food. You feel you're right there with the people she meets, from Maine, to Crete, Maui to France (Delicious)
A crucial element of any book like this is that you trust the person leading you. Luard passes the test completely (Daily Mail)
A romp through Luard's travels with food . She knows how to tell a story, thanks to a life rich with colourful anecdotes (Xanthe Clay Sunday Telegraph)
Elisabeth Luard is the best living writer about the purpose, business, geography and anthropology of eating. Her Squirrel Pie eloquently, purposefully and honestly combines the how and the why of dinner (AA Gill Sunday Times)
Elisabeth Luard has packed in more experience of roving, living and cooking than any other writer. Now she brings together a lifetime of sublime and bitter moments in a merry masterwork, beautifully illustrated by her own hand (The Times)
'Sacrilegious to say it but Elizabeth Luard even beats Elizabeth David. Exquisite writing and wonderful food, and funny too' Prue Leith
'Elisabeth Luard proves that no matter where you are, there is food to be gathered, or hunted, or found. Squirrel Pie is a beautifully written tribute to food that has all but vanished from our everyday lives' Alice Waters
Elisabeth Luard, one of the food world's most entertaining and evocative writers, has travelled extensively throughout her life, meeting fascinating people, observing different cultures and uncovering extraordinary ingredients in unusual places. In this enchanting food memoir, she shares tales and dishes gathered from her global ramblings.
With refreshing honesty and warmth, she recounts anecdotes of the many places she has visited: scouring for snails in Crete, sampling exotic spices in Ethiopia and tasting pampered oysters in Tasmania. She describes encounters with a cellarer-in-chief and a mushroom-king, and explains why stress is good news for fruit and vegetables, and how to spot a truffle lurking under an oak tree.
Divided into four landscapes - rivers, islands, deserts and forests - Elisabeth's stories are coupled with more than fifty authentic recipes, each one a reflection of its unique place of origin, including Boston bean-pot, Hawaiian poke, Cretan bouboutie, mung-bean roti, roasted buttered coffee beans, Anzac biscuits and Sardinian lemon macaroons.
Illustrated with Elisabeth's own sketches, Squirrel Pie will appeal to anyone with a taste for travel, and an affinity for that most universal of languages, food.
