EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Elizabeth Raffald (1733-1781), a renowned cook and author of her time. Born in Manchester, England, Raffald's passion for cooking began at a young age, and she quickly gained a reputation as an exceptional cook. She opened a successful cooking school in Manchester, where she taught both the art and science of cooking to the city's elite. Raffald's culinary prowess did not go unnoticed, and she was soon approached by a publisher to write a cookbook. In 1769, she published "The Experienced English Housekeeper," which became an instant success. This groundbreaking book was one of the first to include detailed instructions for baking, and it featured over 800 recipes, many of which were innovative for the time. The print captures Raffald in the midst of her culinary creations, with a rolling pin in one hand and a recipe book in the other. Her intense focus and dedication to her craft are evident in her expression. The apron she wears is adorned with various kitchen utensils, symbolizing her expertise in the kitchen. Raffald's influence on English cooking was profound, and her cookbook remained a popular and influential work for decades. She continued to write and publish cookbooks, as well as a household management guide, until her untimely death in 1781. This print serves as a testament to her enduring legacy as a pioneering cook and author, and a reminder of the importance of passion and dedication in the pursuit of culinary excellence.
