Who Am I

Who Am I? In the year 1896 I published a cookbook. My cookbook was very successful, and was found in homes all across America. My book introduced standardised measurements to recipes, making it easy for anyone to duplicate my tasty dishes. I think this was one reason that it become so popular.

With the success of the cookbook I managed to open my very own cooking school. And from there I became very interested in food as medicine. I worked hard on devising special diets for people who were recovering from various illnesses. I even taught at Harvard Medical School for one year!

My cookbook is still popular today.

Who Am I?

The answer as always to this week's Who Am I? can be found in the comments section.

The answer of course is Fannie Farmer. The image in post is of Fannie Farmer (left) with Martha Hayes Ludden, one of her students at the Boston Cooking School.

Cheers!
