Summary:
England, 1835. London is awash with thrilling new ingredients, from rare spices to exotic fruits. But no one knows how to use them. When
Eliza
Acton is told by her publisher to write a
cookery
book instead of the poetry she loves, she refuses--until her bankrupt father is forced to flee the country. As a woman,
Eliza
has few options. Although she's never set foot in a
kitchen
, she begins collecting recipes and teaching herself to cook. Much to her surprise she discovers a talent - and a passion - for the culinary arts.
Eliza
hires young, destitute Ann Kirby to assist her. As they cook together, Ann learns about poetry, love and ambition. The two develop a radical
friendship
, breaking the boundaries of class while creating new ways of writing recipes. But when Ann discovers a secret in
Eliza
's past, and finds a voice of her own, their
friendship
starts to fray. Based on the true story of the first modern
cookery
writer,
Miss
Eliza
's
English
Kitchen
is a spellbinding
novel
about female friend℗Ưship, the struggle for independence, and the transcendent pleasures and solace of food.
