Jane Grigson

The same like Claudia Rudner, she's incredibly learned on British food.

Jane Grigson wrote prolifically about British cooking and was one of the foremost, along with Michael Smith, and then hot on the footings of Constance Pryor and Eliza.

So there had always been a very quiet, distinguished line of cooks and writers who championed British food.

But it often fell on deaf ears.
