Published in 1957, Patience Grays' "Plats du Jour or Foreign Food" suggests inspiring ways of cooking and serving. Unfortunately the new reprint lacks the charming original illustrations...
I am also a fan of Patience Gray and have reread Honey from a Weed many times. I did not know about the Plats du Jour book and just found a used copy online, so I will look forward to adding it to my library.
Lovely tribute, Aglaia. I too have a copy of the original, which I received as a bequest (literally) from a friend long ago. I treasure it, both for the contents and for the memory of the person who gave it to me. It's a fine book but her masterpiece, of course, as you note, was Honey From a Weed. That's the one I turn to so frequently.
I have listened to Adam ferments book a couple of times and honey from a weed is often beside my bed - I’ve only done a few things out of it but what a book! I love it.
I will browse my copy tomorrow, thank you for the reminder.
