I'm on much more familiar ground with this article than with the last of your GANs I tangled with. I wrote much of the two WP articles on Elizabeth David and her books, so you can set me down as another foodie. I blew the dust off Mrs David's Spices, Salt and Aromatics in the English Kitchen, and can tell you, if you'd prefer to add a page reference instead of the link at ref 17, that ED's mention of Lady Clark's Thick Parmesan Biscuits is on pp. 230–31 of my copy (the Grub Street 2000 reissue,
ISBN
9781902304663).
Some comments:
Most of these are easy fixes, but I really would like the biography to be addressed, given that suitable sources are available. – Tim riley talk 15:57, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
Well, that was resolved at a rate of knots! Just one final point, on rereading: may I suggest that to avoid ambiguity you recast the last sentence of the opening para of the lead from "The book was edited by the artist Catherine Frances Frere, who had seen two other cookery books through to publication, at the request of Clark's husband." to "At the request of Clark's husband the book was edited by the artist Catherine Frances Frere, who had seen two other cookery books through to publication."
All seems to me fine for GA now. All criteria met, IMO, as below:
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
Please remind me in the New Year to check the TLS page ref. I'm only 20 mins walk from the British Library and it is no trouble to pop in and check things. But you must remind me, or I'll forget. ("Old, Master Shallow!") – Tim riley talk 17:53, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
