The Orono Cook Book [Orono, Maine • 1906]


Listen Later

On our second episode, we’re talking about The Orono Cook Book, compiled in 1906 by the Ladies of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Orono, Maine. This cookbook is full of fantastic turn of the century advertisements from a wide variety of local businesses, and a few national brands, too. We’ll talk to Anthony Sammarco who literally wrote the book on the history The Baker Chocolate Company -- they’ve got an ad in the book -- and we’ll share the results from the recipes we made, including something called a “Puffet!” Finally, you won’t want to miss our conversation with Olympic Gold Medalist Joan Benoit Samulson about men’s clothing. What does that have to do with community cookbooks? Make sure to listen!
