Viac o knihe

Juliet Corson was a pioneering figure in 19th-century cookery education in the U.S., known for her influential weekly column in the New York Times from 1875 to 1880. In 1877, she published "Fifteen Cent Dinners for Families of Six," a practical guide aimed at helping impoverished families cook on a budget, which gained significant popularity. Despite facing health challenges, Corson continued to write and lecture across the country, advocating for the inclusion of cooking classes in public schools in cities like Philadelphia, Montreal, and Oakland.
