After leaving school in the late 1930s, Gladys Cunneber of Taunton completed a course in housecraft at the Battersea Polytechnic, London. She returned to Taunton and subsequently worked for the electricity department as a demonstrator of electric cookers, which were then comparatively new. Later she joined the Ministry of Agriculture in the Rural Domestic Economy Department and gave cookery demonstrations to a variety of organisations across Somerset.
