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.

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. Octavo. Portrait frontispiece after a photograph by Howard Coster. Original green cloth spine lettered in gilt top edge green. With dust jacket.

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
