A look at her life and new book
Influential food writer, Patience Gray, has a new book called the Centaur's Kitchen. It's an unusual work in that it was actually first written in 1964 as an instruction manual for Chinese cooks working on the Blue Funnel Shipping Line. But only now, after Patience's death in March of this year, has it seen the light of day.
Patience's best-known work is Honey From a Weed - a book published in 1986 and one that has never been out of print at any time since then.
As well as reflecting back on Patience's life, Simon Parkes went off to meet the cookery and organic gardening writer, Lynda Brown, who knew Patience well, to find out what she made of this new book and to test run one of the recipes contained within it.
