Newspaper Cookbooks: Day 5

Chicago Tribune food editor Ruth Ellen Church (who often wrote used the byline Mary Meade) wrote numerous cookbooks during her 38 years at the newspaper. They reflect changes in gender roles, technology and trends in food.

These were the ones that the New York Times mentioned in her obituary: “The Indispensable Guide for the Modern Cook” (1955), “The Burger Cookbook” (1967), “Entertaining With Wine” (1970) and “Mary Meade’s Sausage Cookbook” (1967).

I like her Blender Cookbook and her cookbook about pancakes.
