Happy Birthday to Catharine Beecher, Author of The First American Cookbook



Happy birthday to author and educator Catharine Beecher, born on September 6, 1800. 

In 1841, she would publish 'Miss Beecher's Domestic Receipt Book,' regarded as the first cookbook written by and for an American audience. And, yes, she's the sister of author Harriet Beecher Stowe.
