Mrs (Agnes Bertha) Marshall (1855 - 1905) was an entrepreneur even before most people outside France had even heard of the term. She was involved in all sorts of food-related businesses from writing cookery books to running Marshall's School of Cookery in London. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography article about her by Robin Weir, describes her as "an ice-cream maker". But then Weir goes on to write that she, "became one of the foremost Victorian cookery writers, and was the best-known writer of the day on ice-cream. Her 'Book of Ices' appeared in 1885, followed by 'Mrs A. B. Marshall's Cookery Book' (1888). Her 'Larger Cookery Book of Recipes' was published in 1891. A book entitled 'Fancy Ices' appeared in 1894. Agnes Marshall and her husband also established the Marshall School of Cookery, one of only two major London cookery schools,... in January 1883. From 1886 they began to produce The Table, a weekly newspaper devoted to ‘Cookery, Gastronomy [and] food amusements’, and for the first six months Agnes produced a new recipe for each issue." Covers (green cloth with gilt titles to front board and spine) have some edgewear and light soiling. Page edges speckled in red. Textblock clean and tight.
