Fanny and Me

Fannie Farmer's The Boston Cooking School Cookbook is THE classic American cookbook. It was always within reach in my mom's kitchen when I was growing up, its yellowed pages delicate and frayed from frequent use. If my mom said, "Go get Fannie Farmer," I knew exactly what she meant. So when I decided to do a cookbook challenge blog, cooking 365 recipes in a year, it was only natural that I looked to Fannie. Her many basic recipes make it a perfect fit for someone just learning to cook.
