Ann H. Cook (fl. c. 1725 – c. 1760) was an English cookery book writer and innkeeper. Living in Hexham, Northumberland, Cook, and her husband John, became embroiled in a feud with a well-connected local landowner, Sir Lancelot Allgood, following an argument over an invoice the Cooks had issued. Although they were later exonerated, Allgood continued his attack on them, forcing them to leave their inn and move. Their finances suffered and John was imprisoned for non-payment of debts. To earn money, Cook wrote Professed Cookery in 1754; in the work, in addition to a range of recipes, she included a poem and an "Essay upon the Lady’s Art of Cookery". This was an attack on Allgood's sister Hannah Glasse, who had published a best-selling cookery book, The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy in 17

Professed Cookery was published in three editions, 1754, 1755 and 1760. In the first two of these, Cook was stated as living in Newcastle upon Tyne; in the third she was living in lodgings in Holborn, London. There are no records of the dates or locations of her birth and death. (en)
