WHITE, Florence.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

A Fire in the Kitchen. The Autobiography of a Cook. First "cheap" edition, published one year after the first edition from the same sheets, with a cancel title and imprint. White founded the English Folk Cookery Association in 1928 and the Good Food Register in 1935. A childhood of poverty forced White to develop a simple and economic approach to cooking. She nurtured an interest in the history of cookery and cherished simple, seasonal, local fare. It wasn't until she neared her 60s that White seriously began researching and writing about food. Her publications appeared in The Times, The Spectator, and The Edinburgh Review, and were followed by several books; A Fire in the Kitchen was the last published in her lifetime.
