Janet McKenzie Hill

Janet McKenzie Hill went back to school at about forty and graduated from the Boston Cooking School in 1892, when Fannie Farmer was its assistant principal. In 1896 she founded the Boston Cooking School Magazine, later renamed American Cookery.

She wrote more than a dozen cookbooks, several of them for food companies. Practical Cooking and Serving, first published in 1902, is the largest book on this shelf and the one kept most completely.
