Ann Cook's \u003cb\u003eProfessed Cookery\u003c\/b\u003e is truly a unique work. Cook was a harsh critic of the popular cookbook author Hannah Glasse and she spared no words in her critique. Cook dedicated over 70 pages (including an eight-page poem) to ruthlessly call out Glasse for obvious errors found in her best-selling book \u003cb\u003eThe Art of Cookery.\u003c\/b\u003e Having fallen on difficult times, Hannah Glasse had been sentenced to debtor's prison. Glasse found relief from her imprisonment by selling the copyright of her masterpiece. It is believed that Glasse's half-brother, Lancelot Allgood, had started a campaign of intimidation against Ann Cook. This book is allegedly in response to that campaign. In her peom, Cook wrote of Glasse: \"A poor Mind, if known, might be conceal'd, Mean Poverty is shewn when its reveal'd.\" Cook goes on to proclaim herself as the \"Teacher of the True Art of Cookery.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 10, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42712009736255,"sku":"9781948837194","price":21.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/0ca8be7298b03deca5ae0e3841ff3bbc.webp?v=1765060390","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/professed-cookery-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
