cookbook
author, who is today among the most well-known cooks in Swedish history.
Warg was born in Örebro
to accountant Anders Warg and Karin Livijn. She left home early to be the cook and house keeper of several powerful people in Stockholm, such as count Wolter Reinhold von Stackelberg.
In 1755 she published was to be a very long-lived classic of the kitchen: Hjelpreda I Hushållningen För Unga Fruentimber ("Assistant in Housekeeping for Young Women") which was published in fourteen Swedish editions of which the last version was printed in 1822. It was also translated into German and Finnish. The book contained not only recipes but also such things as coloring of textiles and other things concerning a household. It was to be the leading household guide for generations, until the new equipment for a kitchen outdated it in the 20th century. It also describes the Swedish kitchen before the use of potatoes, which makes it an important historical document.
Tradition has attributed the saying man tager vad man haver ("use what you have") to Warg, though there are no accounts of her having used this expression.
She died in Stockholm
