It is a pleasure reading the slice of history that Ellen Steinberg
cuts from Chicago's culinary past and serves us in Learning to Cook
in 1898. It is a well-executed balance of research and
documentation seasoned perfectly by touches of Irma Rosenthal
Frankenstein's life with her family and friends. I can almost taste
some of the wonderful concoctions and feel the heat of the kitchen
on my back.--Michael Baskette
This is much more than a cookbook. [The] story is set in a rich,
cultural context with well-researched comments about the prices and
availability of various foods at the time and about the kitchen
impact of the growing interest in domestic science, nutrition and
the burgeoning temperance and suffrage movements."-- "Chicago Life:
Special Advertising Supplement to the New York Times"
