ELIZABETH DAVID’S CHELSEA

HERO – Elizabeth David – the woman who ‘saved our guts’ in the 1950s. Before Elizabeth
appeared the only place (in this country) where you could buy olive oil, was in little glass
vials in chemists for loosening ear wax. Elizabeth was the grand daughter of a Viscount but
ran off to the theatre. Her life in Cairo during World War II inspired her to become a food
writer. Her French Provincial Cooking has recently been voted by top chefs as the best
cookery book of all time. She lived, cooked, entertained, wrote and died in Chelsea. An
ikon of the Swinging Sixties. This is a walk for lovers of good food and great architecture.
