§ 1. At the beginning of the 20th century mothering was thought to be an uncomplicated business. Working-class mothers knew their job: to feed, clothe, house their children and teach them to behave. The middle and upper classes paid some attention to childrearing fashions, but the task of motherhood was largely delegated to a nanny or a nursemaid or both. Mothers convinced themselves that nanny would do a better job as she would be less emotionally involved. "Nanny was my life. She was my authority,' explained Mary Lutyens. "Mother was a goddess. It was unthinkable that a goddess should bath me.'

§ 2. Mary was brought up by her much loved nanny, Louisa Seath. The children's world revolved around the nursery, tucked away on the top floor far from their parents. As a child, Mary was much closer to Nanny Seath than to her mother. Mary couldn't have borne the shame' if her mother had seen her without clothes and when at fifteen, she was sick in front of her, she was "terribly ashamed" and amazed that her mother could hold her head without appearing to be disgusted. Nanny had always been the one who comforted her and nursed her when she was ill. The best nannies compensated for a mother's shortcomings, provided an extra shoulder to cry on and gave the mother freedom to develop interests beyond her family circle. Although Mary's memory of her mother is far from the fairytale aproned and rosy-cheeked provider of meals, she worshipped her all the same. Mrs Lutyens inspired her children with her own love of literature and as they grew older they became closer. On the other hand, Helena Wright, the eminent gynaecologist, remained bitterly cynical of her mother who had been more bound up in her social life and charitable works than in her children. "To me you were merely a shadow, she writes to her mother, "a shadow with three characteristics: you were always "busy' and you were either ill or worried. Nurse Minter was our chief companion... Why didn't you get to know your children a little?'

§ 3. In working-class families there was no such division of labour: children were left entirely to mother. In the early years of the 20th century, there was no talk of stimulating play or entertaining or amusing children. Children were left to their own devices and by the age of six or seven were expected to look after themselves and, when not at school, run errands (быть на по­сыл­ках) for the family. Ideally, they kept out of the way, bothering grown-ups as little as possible.

Choosing the degree I should study for at university was quite difficult for me as there were two careers that I found equally attractive: the law and catering. After much soul searching, I realised that whilst I could be a lawyer during the day and then enjoy cookery as a form of relaxation, the reverse was not true. Thus, I opted for a law degree and made food my number one hobby.

I have never regretted this decision. Working as a lawyer provided a good living and allowed me enough spare time to please myself by enjoying some very fine food at many superb restaurants. (1)___A life in catering would have meant that I would always have been working when my friends were playing and vice versa. Chefs have to arrive at their restaurant by mid-morning to prepare for lunch. They work all afternoon developing new recipes. Then, they must prepare for evening service probably crawling into bed in the small hours of the next morning feeling absolutely shattered! (2)___

Sharing my love of fine food with good friends in the relaxed atmosphere of my home has more than compensated for not owning a restaurant. Planning a meal for people I love is a great pleasure. How do I choose what to cook? Well, that depends very much on my friends. An important factor has to be catering for their own likes and dislikes and trying to avoid serving them the same dishes as last time they visited. (3)___I don’t claim to be anything other than an enthusiastic amateur but quite a few friends appear to be scared by the prospect of cooking for me.

The friends I like cooking for most of all are those who share the love of food as much as I do and who are quite happy to do the same for me, in grand style, when I pay them a return visit. (4)___

Generally, my cooking has become less complex over the years and I tend to find that the best way of deciding what to cook is to see what is available when I do the shopping. What I cook is controlled by what I have been able to buy. (5)___I might have had one or two vague ideas but, more often than not, I am scrabbling through pages of recipes trying to find something new to do with some scallops, a leg of lamb and raspberries. My store cupboard is pretty good and I can usually find all the spices I need, and boring stuff like flour, butter and so on. (6)___I strongly believe that if you have good ingredients you will be able to turn out something worth eating.

At the end of a meal the finest compliment I can be paid is that my friends aren’t afraid of gently nodding off. It shows that they feel satisfied, relaxed and happy!

1) Another factor is their attitude to their own cooking skills.
2) However, it was the luxury of having the time to cook for friends at home that underlined the good sense of the decision I had made.
3) How do you fit a decent social life into that sort of existence?
4) The choices I make depend on the preferences of my guests.
5) Not only does the process of cooking and baking improve moods, the feeling of satisfaction gained enhances happiness.

An important factor has to be catering for their own likes and dislikes and trying to avoid serving them the same dishes as last time they visited. (3)___I don’t claim to be anything other than an enthusiastic amateur but quite a few friends appear to be scared by the prospect of cooking for me.

The friends I like cooking for most of all are those who share the love of food as much as I do and who are quite happy to do the same for me, in grand style, when I pay them a return visit. (4)___

Generally, my cooking has become less complex over the years and I tend to find that the best way of deciding what to cook is to see what is available when I do the shopping. What I cook is controlled by what I have been able to buy. (5)___I might have had one or two vague ideas but, more often than not, I am scrabbling through pages of recipes trying to find something new to do with some scallops, a leg of lamb and raspberries. My store cupboard is pretty good and I can usually find all the spices I need, and boring stuff like flour, butter and so on. (6)___I strongly believe that if you have good ingredients you will be able to turn out something worth eating.

At the end of a meal the finest compliment I can be paid is that my friends aren’t afraid of gently nodding off. It shows that they feel satisfied, relaxed and happy!

1) Another factor is their attitude to their own cooking skills.
2) However, it was the luxury of having the time to cook for friends at home that underlined the good sense of the decision I had made.
3) How do you fit a decent social life into that sort of existence?
4) The choices I make depend on the preferences of my guests.
5) Not only does the process of cooking and baking improve moods, the feeling of satisfaction gained enhances happiness.
