Virtual Presentation

Leslie Goddard returns to look at how Betty Crocker was invented, why her cookbook has endured & what makes her so iconic. This is a VIRTUAL Zoom presentation, contact info@trpld.org for details.

Long before Martha Stewart, there was Betty Crocker. In 1950, her brand-new Picture Cook Book hit shelves, with sales that rivaled that of another big book, The Bible. To date, it has sold more than 75 million copies.  Created in 1921 by a flour company, Betty Crocker became the most trusted advisor to American cooks.  Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., returns to look at how Betty Crocker was invented, why her cookbook has endured and what makes her so iconic. 

This presentation will be done virtually by Zoom.  Please email info@trpld.org to be sent the login information and instructions for Zoom.
