Among the thousands of American cookbooks published over the past 250 years, a group of milestone best-sellers have profoundly influenced how we cook and eat. This illustrated talk explores ten notable cookbooks that shaped us, from Fannie Farmer and Irma Rombauer to Julia Child and Craig Claiborne. Dive into the pages of America’s favorite cookbooks and discover what they tell us about American food culture and eating habits. This is a lecture, not a portrayal.
