Publication details: J.M. Dent,1938,
Rare Book
An engaging account of a very full life during a fascinating period; White records her Victorian childhood and education, her teaching and social work - the former profession taking her to the Continent, before a return to Britain, where she encounters (and finds sympathy with) suffragists and communists, and then domestic service during the Great War. The book's final section has the wonderfully straightforward title 'Putting English Cookery on the Map', an account of her pioneering works 'Good Things in England' (1932) and its successor 'Flowers as Food' (1934) and her founding of the English Folk Cookery Association in 1928.
