The origin of "First catch your ..." is from Elizabeth Beeton, referencing chickens.

"First catch your hare" does not actually appear in The Art of Cookery. What she actually wrote in a recipe for roast hare was "Take your Hare when it is cas'd (i.e. caught) and make pudding". --Cuirmichael 02:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The quote in the first paragraph of this article looks like vandalism. I realize that it isn't vandalsim, but it looks like it... a lot. Maybe we can make it not bold, and just put some quotation marks around it? Better format, I think. Zeno Izen (talk) 14:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

Why are we using familysearch.org here? I was under the impression that genealogical websites such as these are deemed not to be reliable, per discussions at WP:RSN. - Sitush (talk) 16:17, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yorkshire pudding

She is credited with giving Yorkshire pudding its name in the papers today, for instance here. Is this worth adding to the article? 109.204.116.189 (talk) 11:25, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Portrait

The internet has a sketch of her. A sample is here: "DOMESTIC GODDESS Hannah Glasse – who was the English cookbook writer being celebrated by Google Doodle on her 310th birthday?".. Anyone know where it came from? --evrik (talk) 14:50, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

More about the book

What's missing from this entry is what was most significant about the book — that she intended it for servants, that her clean writing style was easy for country girls to understand, and that it's the first reference to curry, all which I found at one of the links at the bottom of the page - http://www.bl.uk/learning/langlit/texts/cook/1700s2/artreaderhome/reader.html 75.165.176.213 (talk) 15:22, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Later years timeline

The first paragraph in the section "Later years" ends in 1755. The second paragraph starts in 1757 and ends in 1758. The third paragraph goes back to 1755... I think it makes sense to move the third paragraph before the second, for a chronological timeline. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valkoun (talkcontribs) 22:24, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
