EMMA
Darwin suffered chronic ill-health for most of his life. Delving into the secrets of Victorian invalid cookery, Bobby Baker pays tribute to Emma Darwin's devotion to his well-being and, using the ingredients she finds in old cookbooks, comes up with a recipe of her own.
Bobby Baker is a woman, and an artist. In her career of 35 odd years she has, amongst other things, danced with meringue ladies; made a life size edible and tasty cake version of her family to be eaten by visitors; opened her kitchen to the public and subsequently many kitchens around the world; and cured thousands of her pea patients with their many ‘unreasonable’ psychological and behavioural problems with her Therapy Empire How To Live.
