The Impact of Fannie Farmer

Fannie Farmer’s journey began in Boston, where health challenges initially barred her from traditional education. Nevertheless, her experiences led her to the kitchen, where she honed her culinary skills and later attended the Boston Cooking School. Her approach and ability to articulate cooking techniques revolutionized the way women cooked at home, with her book eventually dubbed "the bride's Bible."
