More than 100 years after its original publication, The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book is an American classic - never out of print, and now known simply as The Fannie Farmer Cookbook. The first edition of this classic appeared in 1896, and its scientific approach to nutrition and cooking processes were tremendously influential. Among the contributions we take for granted today was Farmer's insistence on standard measurements: one teaspoon of this, one cup of that - a novel idea at a time when traditional cookbooks called for a pinch, a handful, or even an amount "to your taste." This reprint edition was prepared from digital scans of the original volume in the collection of the Michigan State University Libraries, and was printed and bound with the library's Espresso Book Machine.
