TFA blurb review

Florence Petty was a Scottish cookery writer and broadcaster. During the 1910s she undertook social work in the socially deprived area of Somers Town, north London, running demonstrations for working-class women of how to cook inexpensive and nutritious foods. Much of the instruction was done in the women's homes. She published cookery-related works aimed at those also involved in social work, and a cookery book and a pamphlet aimed at the public. From 1914 until the mid-1940s she toured Britain giving lecture-demonstrations of cost-efficient and nutritious ways to cook, including dealing with food shortages during the First World War. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, she was a broadcaster on food and budgeting for the BBC. Petty continued to work until her death in 1948 at the age of 77. She is considered to be a pioneer of social work innovations. Her approach to teaching the use of nutritious but cheap food was a precursor to the method adopted by the Ministry of Food during the Second World War. (Full article...)

Cheers Gog. A couple of suggested tweaks. Feel free to revert all if you either don't like it, or if I've broken some TFA holy commandment. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 14:01, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
