Cooking People The Writers who Taught the English how to Eat

by Sophia Waugh

Sophia Waugh examines the differences and similarities between cooking then and now. Cooking People focuses on five female writers who have revolutionised home cooking. From Hannah Woolley, who was in the seventeenth century the first woman to make a living from cookery writing, to Isabella Beeton and Elizabeth David, Waugh investigates the what, how and why of English eating. As both a history of food writing and book of recipes for the kitchens of today, Cooking People offers an overview of the way the English have eaten over the last few centuries. Looking at the domestic cookery at the heart of English culture rather than the grand dishes of the courts, Sophia Waugh traces the food writers who have changed the way we eat.
