Finding Betty Crocker
How do you write a biography about a famous woman who never actually existed? Susan Marks takes on the challenge in 'Finding Betty Crocker: The Secret Life of America's First Lady of Food', a quirky and highly entertaining investigation into the backstory of America's favorite homemaker. Another addition to the rising category of food lit, this breezy little souffle of a book covers all things Crocker--from the "Big Red" cookbook to the rise of a marketing icon. And, yes, recipes are included.
