Talk at the South Downs Food Festival

The talk will examine Elizabeth David’s long-term influence on British food up to the present day. Johnny Grey, her literary executor, has invited the historian and author of English Food (2022) Diane Purkiss, alongside the writer Rachel Cooke (Kitchen Person, 2023). They will be joined by Warburg scholar Tom Marks to talk about David’s cultural milieu and the relationship between food and art.
