David has appeared in fictional form at least twice. In 2000 a novel, "Lunch with Elizabeth David" by Roger Williams, was published by Carroll & Graf, and in 2006 the BBC broadcast "", a film starring Catherine McCormack as David and Greg Wise as Peter Higgins. In 1998 Lisa Chaney published a biography of David; the journalist Paul Levy found it "hasty, botched", although in "The New York Times" Laura Shapiro considered it "comprehensive". The following year an authorised biography, "Writing at the Kitchen Table", was published by Artemis Cooper. She also wrote the entry for David in the "Dictionary of National Biography" in 2004 (updated in 2011). David's papers are at the Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University.
