The explosive growth of SnobCorp Holdings Ltd continues: Broadway Books, our publishing partner for The Rock Snob*s Dictionary and The Film Snob*s Dictionary, will saddle up with us for two sequels, The Food Snob*s Dictionary and The Wine Snob*s Dictionary, provisionally scheduled for fall ’07 and/or spring ’08 publication. Who knows, there may even be apparel and calendars and cross-media synergy and stuff. For now, completely out of season, here’s a link to one of the other Dictionaries that have appeared in Vanity Fair, Volume II of the as yet un-book-dealed Football Snob*s Dictionary.

David, Elizabeth. Snob-exalted English food writer (1913-1992) and trailblazer of what Alexander Cockburn has called the “cookbook pastoral” voice. Taking an avid interest in Mediterranean and French country cooking in the postwar years, David turned out two masterworks, Italian Food (1954) and French Provincial Cooking (1960), which, though sometimes vague and imprecise in their recipes, neatly evoked a sun-dappled Southern European wonderland of LUSTY, un-gourmet-ish home cookery theretofore unknown to English-reading audiences. To Snobs, a far more important influence than JULIA CHILD (vis-à-vis French cookery) or MARCELLA HAZAN (vis-à-vis Italian cookery). Read more from the Food Snob's Dictionary »
