A cookbook with a historic recipe anthology does not easily define the wonder of tracking the evolution of the cookbook and the modernization of the kitchen. Pamela Kure Grogan'sMy Cookbook Passiondraws upon a vintage selection from her 3,000 volume cookbook collection showcasing the changing palates of those at-home and at-travel epicureans. In it, she visualizes the impact of various world wars, financial depressions, expanding transcontinental auto usage, and the technological advancement of utensils and ingredients used in the kitchen on the public's taste. My Cookbook Passionis a color panorama of historic cookbooks and recipes with the stories of how such books came into being. Chapters include: Entertaining is Fun; Reach for the Stars on celebrities; Inns & Farms; books on food publishers like Barrows & Co; and a list of famous chefs and their restaurants, most now gone from the scene. There are even hints about becoming a discerning cookbook collector.Pamela Kure Grogan worke
