Fannie in the Kitchen: The Whole Story from Soup to Nuts of How Fannie Farmer Invented Recipes with Precise Measurements (Anne Schwartz Books)
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Marcia was trying to help her mama. So maybe balancing on top of a tower of chairs to dip candles wasn't such a good idea. And perhaps her biscuits worked better as doorstops than dessert. Still, does her mama really need to hire a mother's helper? Then Fannie Farmer steps into their kitchen, and all of a sudden the biscuits are dainty and the griddle cakes aren't quite so...al dente. As Fannie teaches Marcia all about cooking, from how to flip a griddle cake at precisely the right moment to how to determine the freshness of eggs, Marcia makes a wonderful new friend. Here's the story "from soup to nuts" — delightfully embellished by Deborah Hopkinson — of how Fannie Farmer invented the modern recipe and created one of the first and best-loved American cookbooks. Nancy Carpenter seamlessly incorporates vintage engravings into her pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations, deliciously evoking the feeling of a time gone by. Synopsis:When Marcia's mother decides to hire a mother's helper, Marcia is offended because she felt she had tried to help. But when Fannie Farmer steps into their kitchen, the biscuits are suddenly dainty, the griddle cakes are not mushy, and Marcia has a new friend who teaches her the importance of precise measurements in cooking. Full-color illustrations. About the AuthorLike Fannie Farmer, Deborah Hopkinson was born in Massachusetts. Her most recent book, Maria's Comet, was inspired by the life of another Massachusetts native, Maria Mitchell. Ms. Hopkinson's other books include A Band of Angels, winner of the Golden Kite Award; Birdie's Lighthouse; and Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt. She lives in Walla Walla, Washington, with her husband, artist Andrew Thomas (a far better cook than she), their two children, and a multitude of cats, dogs, pigeons, ducks, and chickens.
