Lady Maclean's Cook Book is a book by Scottish food writer and hotelier Veronica Maclean, who was officially titled The Honourable Lady Maclean.[1]
The book was published by Collins Clear-Type Press, in 1965,[2] with revisions made in 1966. It was reprinted in 1967, 1968, 1970, 1973, 1975 and (in paperback) 1985.[2]
Maclean dedicated the books to Mrs Cockerill, who taught her how to cook, but who, Maclean says, "fortunately knows she will always do it better herself".
The book is compiled from handwritten or typewritten recipes from Maclean's family and friends on their own stationery, some including the sender's letterhead, as well as her own recipes, many of which came from her travels around the world in the wake of her husband, diplomat Fitzroy Maclean.[3]
The section headings were the work of Avril Veronica Gibb, a prominent artist.[4]
