Some books are almost too precious to review. It's as though the taking apart, the analysing will destroy some of the magic or spoil a treat that you keep in store for yourself. "An Omelette and a Glass of Wine" has been the treat that I've kept for myself for over twenty years and for a large part of that time it lived by the side of the bed. So what is it and why is it so special?

If you want something similar to this but with an easier style than I'd recommend Jane Grigson's [[English Food]]. There's a similar depth of knowledge and easy camaraderie with food in all its forms. There's wit and there's intelligence.
