This convenience comes from a well-known historical writer, which is to say she is well-known within the convenience academic and lay communities.
This writer always uses cookbooks, or other culinary texts, to reflect her experiences and create her convenience messages.
The literary epicure may recognize that the original page for this convenience comes from the table of contents in the 1863 edition of Beadle’s Dime Cookbook; the cookbook is attributed to Mrs. Victor.
Because of this convenience writer’s familiarity with culinary texts, scholars theorize that she was a cook. She may have been a cook within her own family, may have worked for another household, or may have worked for or owned a commercial enterprise.
Scholars also place her writing likely at the end of the 19th- or early-20th century because of the publication dates of her sources.
One of the significant themes that appear in all of her conveniences is that of kindness. This writer did not hold with the more dictatorial or directive methods used by some other practitioners.
Her emphasis on kindness—and softness, in this convenience—has led some scholars to believe that she had experienced (and recovered from) some kind of trauma in her earlier life.
She appears to understand that some clients need to be approached with care.
Note that she does not change the word currant (a berry) to the word current (a contemporary state).
The word currant supports the ethic-of-kindness theory.
The currant is a small and sweet (but potentially acidic) berry. The writer discerns and names the tension between these two states (sweetness and acidity) by keeping the word currant, and suggests an appropriate response.
This writer always includes an image of food, in this case chocolate cream pie. More sweetness.
