American cooking expert, author, and educator Fannie Farmer was an authority in the art of cooking, author of six books about food preparation (including her impressive, highly significant Boston Cooking School Cookbook (1896), of which twenty-one editions were printed before her death) and was the director of the Boston Cooking School. Despite suffering a debilitating stroke at the young age of 16, after 2 years of rehabilitation Miss Farmer became a self-taught culinary expert who continued her passion right up to the end with her final lecture given from a wheelchair 10 days before her passing.
With the publication of “The Boston Cooking School Cookbook” in 1896, Fannie Farmer transformed the way Americans prepared food. Still in print today as “The Fannie Farmer Cookbook,” the book introduced the use of standardized measuring spoons and cups, allowing for a more precise, scientific approach to cooking. It is one of the best-selling cookbooks of all time. More than 360,000 copies were sold during Farmer’s lifetime. By 1990, four million had sold.
