Hannah Glasse is the most famous of all eighteenth-century cookery writers—that is, her best-known text became almost universally known, while the facts about her life remained until recently unknown.
Milestones
29 October 1754 The copyright of HG's cookery book, which she had retained at publication, was bought by a publishers' conger or temporary conglomerate headed by Andrew Miller.

1760 HG issued by subscription
The Servant's Directory; or, House-Keeper's Companion; again she published "for the author", keeping possession of the copyright.

1 September 1770 HG died in
London: the few and scanty printed reports of her death identified her as the sister of her successful
brother.
