About the author

American Molasses Company was a Brooklyn, New York business associated with Grandma's Old-Fashioned Molasses, and it is credited as the author of recipe booklets such as Grandma's Recipes for Mother and Daughter. The company appears in library and public-domain records as a corporate author rather than an individual person.

Its published recipes were part cookbook and part promotion, encouraging home cooks to use molasses in breads, cakes, cookies, pies, sauces, and savory dishes as well. That gives its work a period charm today: these little collections preserve the language, tastes, and household habits of an earlier American era.

Because this is a company author, not a single identifiable individual, a verified portrait image was not available from the sources I checked.
