"Chef" does not seem the preferable way of distinguishing her; "writer on food" or "home economist" could be better. Also her career seems to approach sixty years.--Felix folio secundus 16:09, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I moved it to the current title and I agree it's not the best fit. I would prefer Elizabeth Craig (writer), but Elizabeth Craig (home economist) is OK too. I don't like "writer on food", there's no need for the extra disambiguation as there are no other writers called Elizabeth Craig. Tassedethe (talk) 16:18, 24 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Old age

This appears in the article on Julian Henry: "He is great nephew of Elizabeth Craig MBE FRSA, (celebrated Scottish author, journalist, cook). Elizabeth Craig was the best-known Scottish cook of the 20th century, and was a renowned journalist. She wrote 40 cookery books, and contributed to many magazines and newspapers. She appeared on the 'over 90s' show on BBC TV Parkinson in 1978 aged 95 alongside Rt Honourable Manny Shinwell MP and the playwright Ben Travis CBE." If there is a reliable source for the Parkinson appearance it might be included in the article.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 20:12, 15 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

This article misses a large amount of family history - I'm a relative so obviously can't correct it. Piers39293 (talk) 04:17, 7 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps you could comment on what is inaccurate in the present version; then editors who are interested in this article will be able to comment further.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 10:15, 7 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Not sure where to start, her niece was married to a highly decorated army colonel - there are endless links. She's a well known member of my family, we even have books signed 'love Antie Jock' addressed to my mother and her two sisters, handwritten letters and much more. Since it's not noted in recognised forms it's hard to add the material. Piers39293 (talk) 07:18, 12 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
