The estate of GDR cookbook author Ursula Winnington will become part of the German Archive of Culinary Art in Dresden shortly before the first anniversary of her death. Maraike Wittbrodt and Lilly Böhm, the author's daughter and granddaughter, donated the estate to the Saxon State Library - Dresden State and University Library (SLUB). This was announced by the library.
The estate includes Ursula Winnington's library of cookbooks and works comprising more than 150 books. It also includes a handwritten cookbook written by her grandmother in the 19th century, which Winnington used to discover her passion for cooking. The SLUB also received many of her publications since 1964, for example in the magazines "Das Magazin", "Guter Rat" and "Sibylle", as well as letters to the editor and extensive correspondence from 1971 to 1999, for example with VEB Exzellent Dresden, the manufacturer of the popular Worcester sauce.
