There's nothing more freeing for a seasoned cook than a recipe that assumes knowledge. Elizabeth David guides simply, Edouard de Pomiane cuts to the quick and Patience Gray focuses on essentials.
Ever since I picked up my first Elizabeth David book, I've been enamored of her prose recipe style. And by that I mean recipes written in a minimalist way, not in numbered steps, almost as a narrative. No long reel of ingredients. A few sentences or paragraphs. That's it.
