ON PATIENCE GRAY'S "HONEY FROM A WEED"


"Patience Gray’s Honey from a Weed is one of the most important and best-loved cookbooks of the 20th century, yet its author remains little known beyond a small circle of food writers and critics. 

As her publisher Alan Davidson once observed, 'She simply wished her accumulated knowledge to be preserved in a permanent, beautiful form for the benefit of her grandchildren.'"

I can identify with Patience Gray--I want to publish books for the benefit of Dear Amelia! 


This article is worth reading...Patience was a multi-talented woman.
