January 7th



Born this day in 1957, the current news anchor and managing editor for CBS Evening News, Katie Couric. Happy Birthday, Katie!

Published on this day in 1896, "The Fanny Farmer Cook Book", except the original title was, "The Boston Cooking-School Book." Fanny Farmer was the author's name. Farmer's cook book was important to the history of cookery for the fact it standardized measurements of cups and spoons. It also emphasised the science of cooking both in the chemistry and in the dietary science. The importance of cooking healthy meals for the family. Fanny Farmer's Cookbook is still in print today.
