In Honor of Blender History

Earlier this week, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel featured this interesting story about the history of the blender – with a Wisconsin connection.

Longtime Chicago Tribune food editor Ruth Ellen Church – who wrote under the pen name of Mary Meade – published the Blender Cookbook in 1952. It was one of many cookbooks that she wrote. She was a 1933 graduate of Iowa State University with a major in home economics journalism. The University honored her with an Alumni Merit Award in 1961.
