This remarkable little book, The Gentle Art of Cookery, published in 1925, is a reminder that interesting food from all over the world was being happily eaten in England long before Elizabeth David weighed in. The author's basic philosophy, laid out in the introduction, is that one should "shop first and then arrange the dinner according to what is most plentiful in the market." She includes an entire chapter on The Arabian Nights, with recipes for dishes like imam bayaldi and chicken stuffed with pistachios.
