Journalism
Elizabeth Craig's writing career began in Dundee where she studied journalism.
She first published a cookery feature in the Daily Express in 1920, after 8 years in journalism, following comments from the Daily Mail’s then film editor who declared she was “the only woman in Fleet Street who could cook”.
This talented writer was soon noticed by other newspapers and magazines who engaged her to write for them, and she published her first book in 1923. A successful career ensued, publications appearing in many national newspapers, and many more books being written. Craig, like many other food writers successfully managed to make a career from her love and passion for cooking.
Craig was also a founding member of the International P.E.N., and at the request of the founder, Catharine Dawson Scott, attended the first meeting of the association at the Florence Restaurant in London where John Galsworthy was elected its first president
