Starting first read-through. (This and Eliza Smith to come, if she hasn't been bagged by then. Embarras de richesses!)  Tim riley  talk    14:05, 2 April 2015 (UTC)


 * That's very good of you. I seem to be building a library of English "cuisine", as the article's title has it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:31, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

I raised my eyebrows at finding no mention of Elizabeth David or Dorothy Hartley, but now I look on my shelves, I find the latter doesn't mention Mrs Glasse at all, and the former mentions her only in passing, except as a pioneer of ice-creams. This is a delightful article, and a worthy addition to the small group of GAs on food writers. –  Tim riley  talk    15:43, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
