Description

Firm boards heavily faded and browning. Rounding of corners. Dust jacket is in pieces. Some foxing. Pages are clean.

Maura Laverty (née Kelly; 15 May 1907 – 28 July 1966[1]) was an Irish novelist, playwright, journalist, broadcaster and cookery expert known for her work on the Irish television drama serial, Tolka Row. She published several novels, short stories and critical pieces throughout her career.

Laverty published multiple cookbooks, starting with the government-commissioned Flour Economy in 1942, designed to respond to the wartime shortage of flour. She then published Kind Cooking in 1946 (illustrated by her friend Louis le Brocquy). It contains short stories about food peppered in among the recipes, all stemming from the same country environment as her first novel, as well as practical recipes.
