Over A Hot Stove

This delightful memoir provides a unique `Upstairs Downstairs` account of what life was really like in a bygone era. At the age of sixteen Flo Wadlow left her family to begin what would become a distinguished life `in service`. Starting as a kitchen maid in London she soon rose through the ranks and worked at many of England's great houses. By her early twenties Flo was in charge of the kitchen and cooked for prime ministers and royalty.
