#2 ...from her home economics teacher as a schoolgirl.

What a quaint notion - that students should actually learn useful things while they're there. That would, however, interfere with leftist indoctrination.

#6 she first learnt to cook from her domestic science teacher, Miss Date.

Note, not from her mother. The English have historically not known how to cook, I understand.

I was the only guy and there were all these chicks...

My father was an organic chemist. He started with the end result he desired nutritionally, then worked his way backward to develop the recipe. His crepes were acceptable, tastewise, but contained a full day’s key nutrients for a child in each one — my baby brother was very picky, needed to be fed, and loved maple syrup on pancakes.
