Although Mrs Marshall quickly faded from the public consciousness after her death in 1905, her achievements in late Victorian London society, business and hospitality were quite extraordinary. An extremely successful businesswoman in her own right, running one of only two cookery schools in London, and a highly successful kitchenware and providore business, she also pioneered the cornet or ice-cream cone, investigated the use of liquid gas to freeze ices and designed rapid freezing ice machines such as her patented Ice Cave and Ice Breaker at pps.58-59. The Book of Ices is highly sought after both for the ice cream recipes and the illustrated catalogue of moulds and ice-cream equipment (pps 45-69).
Scarce early edition with fine colour illustrations. A nice copy.
