META GIVEN
Blog posts about Meta Given and her cookbooks and sales:
BLOGS
I am always impressed with the effort that people put toward Meta Given. Meta Given is not the most popular cookbook author - but she does stack up against the like of Fannie Farmer, Julia Childs, James Beard and Irma S. Rombauer.
Sandy's Chatter Searching for Meta Given gave me my first break in finding information about Meta Given for a biography (My Time with Meta Given) I wrote in 2018. Sandy is an aficionado of antique cookbooks. Meta Given was just one of may authors that Sandy wrote about over the years.
SALES
Not only blog posts, but the sales efforts that are made in the reselling of her very famous cookbooks:Modern Family Cook Book (1942-1972)
Modern Encyclopedia of Cooking (1947-1972)
Shop In The Vintage Kitchen
Not everyone is a fan of Meta Given or even have heard of her. Yet many people have her cookbooks upon their shelves without knowing it. My mother told me that she asked one of her cousins before she passed if she had a Meta Given cookbook. She claimed she had never heard of the woman. Yet when she reviewed her cookbook, there amongst her favorite books was a two volume cookbook. I know that several of my relatives had Meta Given cookbooks which included my mother, her sister and several of her first cousins. With the help of my sister many of the next generation have these precious books as well.
