Fannie Farmer
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.
