Learning to Cook in 1898 is more than just a cookbook or a collection of nostalgic recipes. While the volume does contain treasured family recipes, the book's primary focus is on the efforts Irma Rosenthal Frankenstein took to educate herself about cooking, nutrition, health, and household management as a young, Americanborn, middle class Chicago bride of Jewish heritage at the turn of the century.In this volume, author Ellen F. Steinberg analyzes primary material found in Irma's 'First Cook Book' and memoirs. She focuses on approximately one year in Irma's life during which the bridetobe collected recipes for a variety of entrees, vegetable dishes, soups, salads, tea sandwiches, baked goods, and desserts. Though many of these recipes have obvious German roots, some were clipped from local newspapers and women's magazines, demonstrating Irma's efforts to combine her family's culinary traditions with modern American foodways. Eleanor Hanson, a culinary professional, worked with Steinberg to adapt more than eighty of the recipes for modern cooks.Learning to Cook in 1898 offers insights into everyday life of the era, the sphere of women's experience, and the customs of German and GermanAmerican communities in the Midwest. The text and recipes together will give readers interested in culinary history an opportunity not only to step back into the past but also to sample the rich tastes of those times.
