She developed interest in cooking when her boyfriend kept on praising his former girlfriend’s cooking skills. Eventually, she took up reading cookery books at the British Museum and started trying what she learnt while cooking for her family and friends. Soon she started writing on cooking, and by 1969, she became the cookery writer in The Mirror.
