When Landemare offered her services to the Churchills in 1940 she was one of the most sought after and well known cooks in Britain. She worked tirelessly throughout the war, often only leaving the kitchen after midnight and then returning hours later to start cooking breakfast. On VE night, she was told by Churchill that he could not have managed through the war without her. In 1958, Landemare published Recipes from No. 10: Some Practical Recipes for Discerning Cooks, which included a foreword by Clementine Churchill, who says she encouraged Landamare to write the book.
