“We are surrounded by forces that technology cannot yet measure.”
― Charles Dowding's Skills for Growing
― Charles Dowding's Skills for Growing
“Most early-twentieth-century books didn't have illustrations. Corporate cookbooks, you know, ones that were created to sell a brand of something like vegetable shortening or flour, popularized the use of black-and-white photograpic images in the nineteen twenties. By the nineteen forties, most cookbooks incorporated illustrations, and colour photography became more popular. But the cookbook as a sort of a coffee table book didn't take off until the eighties and nineties.”
