Faster and More Fun: American Home Cooking in the 1920s
American Home Cooking
Visit the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room to see historical materials that illustrate women’s changing relationship with food, cooking, and technology during the heady decade of the 1920s, sandwiched between WWI and the Great Depression. This exhibit features materials from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive, as well as select items from the Art, Architecture, and Engineering Special Collections and the Transportation History Collection.
As America rang in a new decade in the 1920s, cookbook authors and appliance manufacturers stood ready to offer the newly emancipated and forward-thinking American woman a vision for her future, a vision that would be scientifically grounded, speedy enough to make time for leisure as well as housework, and guaranteed to bring fun to that most humdrum of chores: planning and preparing meals for a family three times a day, 365 days a year.
