It's another The Delicious Legacy Podcast Vs The British Food History Podcast!


The Lives & Works of Four Incredible 18th Century Cooks:

Four women. Four household cooks. In the course of a century they reshaped the rules of authorship, cookbooks and home cooking.

You might have heard their names. Especially, if you're into your culinary history.

But what was that made these four remarkable women to stand out -nearly 300 years ago- in a field crowded with men and rife with plagiarism? Cookery books before were fairly useless as a workable text for the inexperienced new middle classes trying to get economical meals on the table.

How did these persistent and talented cooks and cookbook authors shaped our modern genre of culinary writing? And what was the evolution of cooking since the 18th century to today? Suddenly women’s voices were being heard, at least in the gendered realms of romantic fiction, cookery, self-help manuals and other works of betterment…

What do we own to these superbly talented women?

Join Neil Buttery writer and food historian and me in an exploration of the lives of Eliza Smith, Hannah Glasse, Ann Cook, and Elizabeth Raffald!


Enjoy!
