AMBROSE HEATH (1891-1969) was a food writer and broadcaster: he was cookery correspondent of The Queen from 1938-64 and wrote over seventy books between 1932 and 1968. His first book was Good Food (1932); Good Food on the Aga appeared the following year, four years after the Aga was first sold in Britain.
