LANGUAGE OF FOOD (PB)

Eliza Acton, despite having never before boiled an egg, became one of the world's most successful cookery writers, revolutionizing cooking and cookbooks around the world. Her story is fascinating, uplifting and truly inspiring. Told in alternate voices and with recipes that leap to life from the page, this book explores the enduring struggle for female freedom, the power of female friendship, the creativity and quiet joy of cooking and the poetry of food all while bringing Eliza Acton out of the archives and back into the public eye.
