Mrs. Rorer’s New Cook Book – 1902, Philadelphia
A historic piece of American culinary history! This 1902 edition of Mrs. Rorer’s New Cook Book is considered a landmark in early 20th-century American cooking. Written by Sarah Tyson Rorer, one of the first professional home economists and culinary educators in the United States, it offered practical, accessible, and well-organized recipes for everyday home cooks.
The book is heavily used: the spine is missing, the cover is damaged, and some pages are loose towards the end of the book. Despite its worn condition, it carries the charm of a book that was truly loved and used. Having been printed in 1902 it is now 123 years old and counting - perhaps its tattered edges are also to be expected.
A fascinating collector’s item for fans of vintage cookbooks or a unique gift for food lovers interested in culinary history.
