Ambrose Heath

Ambrose Heath (born Francis Geoffrey Miller; 7 February 1891 in London, England – 31 May 1969 in Wotton, Surrey) was an English journalist and food writer.

Heath wrote for newspapers including The Times and The Manchester Guardian, before becoming the food writer for The Morning Post.

From 1933, when he published four cookery books, Heath wrote and translated more than one hundred works on food, such as Good Food on the Aga (reprinted by Persephone Books in 2003) and The Good Cook in Wartime.

[1] During World War II, rationing was practiced and food writers also embraced the challenge.

During this time there was an involuntary national shift toward vegetarianism and this is reflected in some of Heath's cookbooks.
