Ep 143 - Eliza Acton & Mrs Beeton - battle of the bakers

We rise at dawn! It's the showdown of the two big names in recipe book development - one well known and celebrated, and one overlooked and forgotten. How did that happen? Get your oven mitts at the ready, rolling pins in hand, let's go. This week's episode is a listener request (thanks Despa!) and we take a look at the two women who were instrumental in creating the ubiquitous cookbook that we take for granted daily. Why is one woman known and the other not? Could there be (wait for it...) BEEF?! (sorry!)
