Cookery first entered the school curriculum in 1929, when it appears at School Certificate. In 1927 only needlework and hygiene are listed. Undoubtedly in this era it was a subject for girls only. Indeed at this time it was only a part of a subject, the School Certificate subject of housecraft, which allowed (female) students to choose two subjects from four, needlework, laundrywork, cookery and housewifery. Cookery became a subject in its own right with the advent of the 'O' level in 1951. During the 1950s, 60s and 70s the examination title remained as 'cookery' in the Cambridge Examination Board at least, although the term 'domestic science' was starting to be used in schools and introduced an element of technicality with the use of the word 'science'. An invaluable and historically important guide to basic cookery. Both authors were London school teachers.
