Synopsis
Clarissa Dickson Wright presents a profile of Hannah Glasse, the first Domestic Goddess. Her celebrated book The Art Of Cookery was reprinted 33 times within 50 years and was the best-selling cookery book of the 18th century, introducing fine dining to the masses and crowning her as queen of the aspirational middle-classes. Glasse invented the dinner party as we know it, and by teaching the housewife how to cook, she gave her the ticket to sophistication and style in the kitchen.
