Review:
'Full of good observation... wit and comfort...the theme is that cooking should always be fitted to the occasion and temperament.' -- The New Statesman 5 November 2001 Bee Wilson

Agnes Jekyll tells us how it's done crisply and precisely, with humour but without trickery.' -- The Oldie November 2001 Elizabeth Luard

This is one of the best reads outside Elizabeth David. -- gastropodo.com

Three cheers to Persephone Books for publishing this witty , sharp writer, nostalgic but unsentimental, humorous but precise, erudite and always elegant. -- Country Living May 2002
Synopsis:
The author of "Kitchen Essays" (1922) was sister-in-law to the great Gertrude Jekyll, whose biographer wrote that if she 'was an artist-gardener, then Agnes was an artist-housekeeper.'Agnes was a famous hostess (the guests at her first dinner party included Browning, Ruskin and Burne-Jones) and her home, Munstead House, 'was the apogee of opulent comfort and order without grandeur, smelling of pot-pourri, furniture polish and wood smoke'. During 1921-2 (the now) Lady Jekyll wrote unsigned essays for "The Times" with titles such as "Tray Food" and "Sunday Supper" which were then collected as "Kitchen Essays".
