Ann Cook was an 18th-century cook and cookbook author who had a problem with Hannah Glasses cookbook, "The Art of Cookery: Made Plain and Easy." Clarissa F. Dillon and Deborah J.

Ann Cook, an 18th-century cook and cookbook author, faced a challenge when she encountered Hannah Glasses' cookbook, "The Art of Cookery: Made Plain and Easy," which had been republished numerous times during the century. Cook's cookbook included scathing critiques of Glasses' recipes, sparking a quest for authenticity by historic cooks Clarissa F. Dillon and Deborah J. Peterson. They meticulously prepared and commented on recipes from both Glasses and Cook, focusing on the validity of the criticisms rather than the comments themselves. This approach sets this book apart, offering a fresh perspective on the historical culinary landscape.
