She was always something of a cult figure is the UK. Somewhere I have a copy of her Honey from a Weed (eG-friendly Amazon.com link). I think in my daughter's house in London. (Couldn't carry many books when I moved to China, almost 30 years ago.)
Along, with, Elizabeth David and Jane Grigson they were pivotal.
There is a good tribute here from the Guardian on her centenary in 2017.
