Mrs. Agnes Marshall (1855-1905) was the most celebrated cook of her
day; the equivalent to today's TV celebrity chefs. She wrote four
books: The Book of Ices 1885, Mrs. A.B. Marshall's Book of Cookery
1888, Mrs. A.B. Marshall's Larger Cookery Book of Extra Recipes
1891, and Fancy Ices 1894. These are considered to be some of the
finest books of their type ever written, especially those on ices,
of which Mrs. Marshall was the undisputed authority. Her recipes
are clear, accurate, and well-illustrated. She ran a domestic staff
agency, sold cooking equipment, and ran a successful cookery
school. She even patented an ice-cream machine which could freeze
in five minutes. As well as campaigning for better standards of
food hygiene, she toured extensively, lecturing and demonstrating
her techniques to huge audiences and she has been credited with the
invention of the edible ice-cream cone, mentioned in her 1888
cookery book, in the recipe for cornets with cream. Prior to the
edible cone, ice cream had been served in glass `licks'. The story
of her amazing life is all too short, which sadly ended as the
result of a fall from a horse in a riding accident at the age of
only 49. As a result Mrs. Marshall has been largely neglected by
historians, and is not famous today, unlike the ubiquitous Mrs.
Beeton but this may now be set to change with an exhibition
entitled Scoop of the Century which will run from mid-June to
September at Gasholders in Kings Cross - the world's first ever
exhibition exploring the history, science, art and mythologies of
ice-cream - and which will also celebrate the life and work of this
incredible culinary pioneer. To coincide with the exhibition Grub
Street is producing a facsimile paperback edition of Mrs Marshall's
most popular work, The Book of Ices.
