Savouries for Breakfast, Luncheon & Dinner
Edinburgh: Practical Training School of Cookery and Housekeeping, [n.d. circa 1903-04]. A delightful turn-of-the-twentieth-century volume, which in addition to dozens of recipes, provides a price list of lessons Griggs taught, including cookery, dressmaking, and laundry work, along with several pages of ads including for a typewriter and Cadbury. The recipes include British pub food staples like rarebit but also a fare number (pun intended) of French recipes. Griggs was an owner of the Practical Training School of Cookery and Housekeeping, on 137 George Street, Edinburgh.
