The author of "Kitchen Essays" (1922) was sister-in-law to the great Gertrude Jekyll, whose biographer wrote that if she 'was an artist-gardener, then Agnes was an artist-housekeeper.'Agnes was a famous hostess (the guests at her first dinner party included Browning, Ruskin and Burne-Jones) and her home, Munstead House, 'was the apogee of opulent comfort and order without grandeur, smelling of pot-pourri, furniture polish and wood smoke'. During 1921-2 (the now) Lady Jekyll wrote unsigned essays for "The Times" with titles such as "Tray Food" and "Sunday Supper" which were then collected as "Kitchen Essays".
