Cecily Brownstone’s Papers

I just came across this 1951 photo taken at the home of Associated Press food writer Cecily Brownstone. It is a party for a new release of The Joy of Cooking. It is in Brownstone’s paper in the Fales Library at NYU. Here is a story about her papers and the mass cookbook collection that she donated.

From 1947 to 1986, she wrote two columns and five recipes a week for the Associated Press which ran in newspapers across the country. She was a member of the New York food establishment.

I am presenting a paper about her at the National Communication Association convention this fall in Orlando.
