Fannie Farmer

At the age of 36, she became principal of the celebrated Boston Cooking School. In 1896, she published The Boston Cooking-School Cookbook, which has remained in print ever since (with a thorough makeover and a change of title, to The Fannie Farmer Cookbook, in 1979). The book’s influence as a model for rigorous cooking instruction long outlasted the culinary fashions that it first embodied.
