VICTORY IN THE KITCHEN: THE LIFE OF CHURCHILLS COOK (PB)

Georgina Landemare saw herself as ordinary; her life and accomplishments were anything but. She started her career as a nursemaid, and ended it cooking for a man for whom food was not only a pleasure in itself, but a diplomatic tool: Winston Churchill. Ranging from rural Berkshire to wartime London, via Belle Epoque Paris and Prohibition-era New York, this is a story of twentieth century food, with recipes including Georgina's German Kougelhof, Curried Brains, macaroons, Boodles Orange, Mousse de Maple and 'Chocolat Cake Good'.
