F. L. Gillette refers to Fanny Lemira Gillette, an author who lived from 1828 to 1926. While not much is known beyond her cookbooks, here's what we can glean:
- Cookbook author: Her claim to fame is the "White House Cook Book: A Selection of Choice Recipes Original and Selected, During a Period of Forty Years' Practical Housekeeping," published in 1887 at nearly 60 years old. This book went on to have other versions, like "The Capitol Cook Book" adapted from it.
- Homemaker: The title of her book suggests she had extensive experience in homemaking, including cooking, which she shared through her recipes.
If you're interested in learning more about her cookbooks, you can find them on Amazon or see if your local library has them.
