I like the notion of treasure passed up for years, and then re-discovered by a publishing house that has the wisdom to appreciate the longevity of good writing. A case in point, Elisabeth Luard’s gem of a book, A Cook’s Year in a Welsh Farmhouse.
Now I have to come clean and admit that I haven’t read it yet, but the look, size and aesthetic charm was plain to see. My friend Ieuan, will be thrilled to try out its recipes and it made a fitting gift on his retirement from the British Library.
