Publisher's Summary

Victory in the Kitchen is a culinary biography: a life lived through food, ranging from rural Berkshire to wartime London, via Belle Epoque Paris and prohibition-era New York.

While Georgina Landemare saw herself as ordinary, her accomplishments and the life she lived were anything but.

She started her career as a nursemaid and ended it cooking for one of the best-known figures in British history, Winston Churchill, a man to whom food was central as a diplomatic tool in a time when the world was embroiled in a worldwide war.

Annie Gray contextualises 20th-century food through two figures who were both intimately involved with it. Recipes include Georgina's German Kougelhof, Boodle's Orange, Mousse de Maple and 'Chocolat Cake Good'.

An important story

A well researched book. Gives great insight into the lives of domestic servants in the 19th
and 20th centuries. I'm so pleased to have learnt about Mrs Georgina Lan de Mar.
