" The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy, first published in 1747 by Hannah Glasse (under the name Mrs. Glasse), is one of the most influential English cookbooks of the 18th century. Aimed at the everyday cook rather than the professional chef, the book stands out for its practical, straightforward instructions and accessible tone. Glasse demystifies the art of cookery by avoiding overly elaborate techniques and expensive ingredients, focusing instead on economical, nourishing dishes suited to the middle-class English household. Her recipes cover a wide range—from roasts and stews to desserts and preserves—and she includes advice on managing household kitchens and serving meals with grace and efficiency.

What made Glasse's work so enduring was her clear, no-nonsense style and her ability to translate complex culinary processes into plain language, helping generations of home cooks gain confidence in the kitchen. The book also introduced early English audiences to foreign cuisines, including French and Indian dishes, making it one of the first cookbooks to reflect a growing interest in global flavors. Reprinted many times throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, The Art of Cookery helped define British culinary traditions and remains a foundational text in the history of domestic cooking."
