    BETTY CROCKER COOKBOOK    

  • Return to top of page

  • In 1921 when Washburn Crosby, which would become General Mills,  began receiving a voluminous number of letters from homemakers across the country asking for help with their breads, biscuits, and especially cakes, they were answered by home economists working there, and all were signed with the fictional but wholesome name Betty Crocker.  In 1924 Betty Crocker even became the first media culinary star when the "Betty Crocker Cooking School of the Air" began three decades on radio, with Betty voiced by an employee of General Mills.    Her popularity continued unabated, and in 1950 when Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book was published, there was an initial first printing of a million copies. However, Betty Crocker was not able to succeed in a move to the medium of television, although the brand continues in food products and even in cookbooks.  In 2011 home economists at General Mills published the 11th edition of the Betty Crocker Cookbook., and we continue to listen to the steady, sure voice, telling us how to make those excellent baked goods - and everything else.

FANNY FARMER COOKBOOK

    The Original Fannie Farmer 1896 Cook Book,  the Boston Cooking-School.  Commemorative ed.  [S.l.] : Ottenheimer Publishers, 1998, c1896. 567 p.  Illustrated. (F)  TX715 .F234 1896a.   With fourteen recipes for muffins and five for biscuits among the twenty-eight for quick hot breads, the mouth-watering goodness of delectable foods from this made-from-scratch era comes roaring to life in a modern kitchen, setting aside any question of why after more than a century from its first publication, the original Fannie Farmer is still great to cook from.  Of course, the detailed instructions for building a fire in a wood-burning cookstove seems endlessly quaint, taking up some three pages.  But then, those ten pages of beverage recipes—Cocoa so many ways—and twenty pages of recipes for yeast breads, can be made in a modern stove, too.

    GRANGE COOKBOOK

  • Return to top of page

  • The Grange, more formally known as the Patrons of Husbandry, is an American organization formed in 1867 to provide fellowship and both social and economic entitlement for farm families at a time when some 90% of the U.S. population lived in a rural setting.  Widely recognized as knowledgeable and skillful cooks, Grange Ladies created and sold cookbooks to raise money for various charitable purposes.  The first woman's dorm at Penn State University was paid for by the first Pennsylvania State Grange Cookbook in 1925. These were organized by states, and even the national Grange cookbook was in the early years published and sponsored by local Granges.  These cookbooks continue to provide a wide and polished window into the kitchens and homes of rural America, from the early years and they continue to do so  today, in more than 30 states.  Here are highlighted cookbooks from the National Grange and the Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Rhode Island  State Granges - but other states also create cookbooks and have done so for many years.  Here is a small sample.
