A propos de cet article

The first National Mark recipe book was published in 1934, this is a cookery booklet, published in a different improved format in 1936. Beige soft covers.

It also made her famous, a nationally known figure as she also used it as a platform to build her own brand, presenting radio programmes, promoting a wide range of products and taking on company directorships in the hospitality sector. Sadly she died towards the end of the War, at the young age of 53. A scarce and interesting book. …
