About This Item
Synopsis
First published in England in 1747, the Art of Cookery was the first cookbook not written primarily for chefs or aristocrats, making it a bestseller during its time and bringing wealth to the author, first noted as only 'a Lady.' The author, Hannah Glasse, was raised in a wealthy household but lost her means after the death of her father, and wrote the cookbook as a means of providing for her family, which included 10 children, only five of whom survived infancy. The 'plain and easy' recipes, 972 in all, were relatively cheap and technically simple, including the first mention of jelly, Yorkshire pudding, and also included recipes for Indian curries.
