Notes

Flora Klickmann’s Cookery Books are a series of cookbooks written by the British author and editor Flora Klickmann, who is best known for her work in the early 20th century. Klickmann wrote numerous cookery books, contributing to the popularization of home cooking, particularly in the context of British domestic life.

Her books often offered practical advice for cooking on a budget and were filled with recipes for a variety of meals, from traditional British dishes to more modern, international fare. Klickmann’s work emphasized efficiency and the importance of good home cooking, making her books particularly useful for women managing household duties. Her cookbooks were also notable for their clear instructions and easy-to-follow recipes, making them popular among homemakers and aspiring cooks of the time.

Klickmann was also known for her work as the editor of The Girl’s Own Paper, a periodical that often featured articles on cookery, domestic arts, and self-improvement for young women. Her cookery books, therefore, were part of a broader effort to guide readers in practical and domestic matters during a time when cooking was still seen as a crucial aspect of home life.
