About the author
Evelyne Webb Bowdich, who wrote as Mrs. Bowdich, was an English writer born in 1861 and died in 1930. She is best remembered for writing about two very different but equally domestic subjects: raising children and vegetarian cookery.
She contributed articles to Baby: The Mother's Magazine, and those pieces were later revised into Confidential Chats with Mothers (1890). She also wrote New Vegetarian Dishes (1892), a cookbook that reflects the growing interest in vegetarian ideas in Victorian Britain.
Information found during this search points mainly to her published work rather than to a richly documented personal life, so the clearest picture of her comes through her books: practical, instructive, and closely tied to the concerns of home and health.
