Sarah Tyson Rorer
Sarah Tyson Rorer ran the Philadelphia Cooking School, which she founded in 1882, for eighteen years, and wrote for Ladies’ Home Journal, Table Talk and Good Housekeeping. She is often called the first American dietitian. At the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair she directed two demonstration pavilions.
Four of her books are on the shelf. Three of them, Twenty Quick Soups, My Best 250 Recipes and Dainties, survive here in full. She was not a vegetarian, yet her Vegetable Cookery and Meat Substitutes planned three meatless meals a day.
