EXCERPT: The river meanders through the valley and the valley is so narrow you can see it is a valley. It is bounded on either side by undulating ranges. Two peaks mount suddenly from the billowy skyline and rear themselves proudly above their fellows. These are the Twin Mountains and one who climbs them may look down upon Joppa village follow the windings of the Jerusalem river as far as Pisgah and even farther and survey all the sweet country between green and fair like a living map. But if you are a canoeist on a river far otherwise. Your horizon is quaintly circumscribed by silver-yellow willow-trees by evergreen shades down to the water's edge and you are mystified by the river's serpentine course being often in doubt as to whether that shimmering loop ahead of you belongs to the past or the future voyaging.

Florence White was the founder of the English Folk Cookery Association. Born in 1863 White's somewhat unhappy childhood shopping 'economically for food since the family was by then poor waiting on her uncongenial stepmother and teaching the three small children of her father's third marriage' ODNB was relieved when she was sent to Fareham 'to nurse her father's two elderly sisters formerly proprietors of the Lion Hotel and Assembly Rooms. From them as she later described in her autobiography she learned that 'good epicurean country-house cookery which had been handed down the family from mother to daughter since the days of Queen Elizabeth'. Her return to Fareham towards the end of her life when she opened a cookery school there was directly inspired by her memories of learning traditional English cooking techniques an accomplishment of which she never ceased to be proud'. Only when in her sixties 'living in frugal semi-retirement in a Chelsea basement room' supported by freelance journalism did Florence formally begin to research her lifelong passion good traditional English food. In 1928 she founded the English Folk Cookery Association and in 1932 published 'Good Things in England' her manifesto as well as editing the first of the association's Good Food Registers which contained information passed on by contributors about towns villages hotels restaurants or even humble guest houses in which good English cooking or foodstuffs could be found. This the author's autobiography is a very scarce copy more-so with the wrapper present. Collectible. Dent, London hardcover
