Comments

 * This article plainly meets the GA criteria. As a matter of personal preference I'd dearly have liked a good deal more about the content, with perhaps a brief example of one of her chosen dishes from each of the sections, but the article nevertheless meets GA criterion 3, which calls for breadth of coverage, rather than comprehensiveness. (If you spurn my plea I may well sneak onto the edit page, pen in hand, when you aren't looking.)
 * Go ahead!


 * The quotation from ED's preface is a bit squashed in the formatting you've chosen. May I suggest using a quote box instead (as used in the ED biographical article)? Happy to do the honours if you agree.
 * Done


 * In your quote from Clarissa Dickson Wright I'd be inclned to make "and her espousal" into "and [David's] espousal".
 * Done


 * In your para about Rachel Cook's comments, I think you want a comma after "Hopkinson", to open the subordinate clause that you close after "1980s".
 * Done


 * I think your "Editions" box is perfectly brilliant.
 * Thanks


 * Some might suspect a touch of OR about your note on Minton's sailor, but I am applying the telescope firmly to my blind eye as what you say is demonstrably true.
 * Noted
