The book has a famous cover, designed by a young Cecil Beaton. The book addresses some of the dramatic post WW1 social changes and associated changes in cookery. A 1934 enlarged edition is renamed, Catherine Ives' Cookery Book: A Much Enlarged and Thoroughly Revised Edition of "When the Cook is Away" with New Chapters on Cakes, Savouries, and Left-overs.
