Background

Scope and Content:

Forms part of the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive. This collection includes promotional materials related to preparing food for or with children. A number of publications from flour companies, such as Gold Medal and Pillsbury, focus on baking; while fruit companies such as Ocean Spray and the California Tree Fruit Agreement promote fruit or fruit-juice recipes; and a handful of publications feature a broader array of recipes. A few publications promote healthy food choices for children. Three items in box 307 are picture books from the 1920s promoting Royal Baking Powder and Royal Gelatin, which also include recipes using those products. Materials date from 1905-1998, with most items dating from the 1920s-1950s.
