Grigson continued to write for "The Observer" until 1990; she also wrote works that focused mainly on British food—such as "Good Things" (1971), "English Food" (1974), "Food With the Famous" (1979) and "The Observer Guide to British Cookery" (1984)—or on key ingredients—such as "Fish Cookery" (1973), "The Mushroom Feast" (1975), "Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book" (1978), "Jane Grigson's Fruit Book" (1982) and "Exotic Fruits and Vegetables" (1986). She was awarded the John Florio Prize for Italian translation in 1966, and her food books won three Glenfiddich Food and Drink Awards and two André Simon Memorial Prizes.
