Cookbook Dedication: Day Five

Chicago Tribune food editor Ruth Ellen Church, often using the pen name of Mary Meade, wrote several cookbooks. Her dedications added new information yet also introduced a new question.

Her 1965 edition of Mary Meade’s Magic Recipes is dedicated to:
“For Morrison Wood, whose enthusiastic review of this book thirteen years ago launched its successful career, my grateful thanks.”

Her 1962 book Pancakes Aplenty is dedicated to: “My favorite sister, Marian Miller.”

Her 1966 edition of Mary Meade’s Modern Homemaker Cookbook is dedicated “For Holly Kapple Field, Young Modern Homemaker.” I have not been able to track down who this woman is.
