William Kitchiner, English Author

William Kitchiner (1775 - February 26, 1827) was an English optician, inventor of telescopes, amateur musician and exceptional cook. His name was a household word during the 19th century, and his Cook's Oracle was a bestseller in England and America. Unlike most food writers of the time he cooked the food himself, washed up afterwards, and performed all the household tasks he wrote about. He travelled around with his portable cabinet of taste, a folding cabinet containing his mustards and sauces. He was also the creator of Wow-Wow sauce. He also invented Zest sauce meant to fight scurvy in the Royal Navy. He was acquainted with renowned people and invited them to his tastings. Famous writers, actors, and poets were often in attendance, and he even hosted George IV when he was still the Prince Regent, who was attracted by the plain, practical dinners and interesting company. On February 26th, 1827 Kitchiner joined a large dinner party given by a close friend. He was in high spirits, and enjoyed the company to a later hour than his usually early habits allowed. He returned home, was suddenly taken ill, and in an hour he was no more. He was of 51 or 52 years old.
