About the author
Frank Schloesser is known for two surviving books from the Edwardian era: The Cult of the Chafing Dish (1905) and The Greedy Book: A Gastronomical Anthology (1906). Both works show a clear delight in food writing, with a focus on cookery, dining customs, and the wider culture around eating.
His books suggest a writer who treated gastronomy as both practical and entertaining. The Cult of the Chafing Dish centers on a once-fashionable style of table cookery, while The Greedy Book gathers reflections and selections tied to the pleasures of the table.
Little confirmed biographical information appears to be readily available beyond his published work, and the date note "d. 1913" could not be independently confirmed from the sources I found in this search.
