A Treasure Trove

Liz Seeber is closing down her business, the last specialist in cookbooks has decided to go back to catering.
She is selling off her stock at bargain prices so be sure and have a last chance to view here.

As well as the Urbain Dubois (which she provided), I bought myself a job lot of paperbacks which were from the estate of one of my food heroes.
These are mostly about Languedoc food so couldn’t be more appropiate for me.
It is also exciting that they were bought and owned by the man who was the founder of Petits Propos Culinaire, the editor of the Oxford Companion to Food and the writer of, what must be the greatest fish book of all time, North Atlantic Seafood.
What is even better is that his personal bookplate is inside most of them.
