About the author
Carnation Milk Products Company appears as the corporate author on vintage cookbooks and recipe collections rather than as an individual person. A well-known example is My Hundred Favorite Recipes, a cookbook credited to Mary Blake and the company and published in 1927.
The company grew out of the business founded by Elbridge A. Stuart in Washington state in 1899. Over time, Carnation became widely known for evaporated milk and related food products, and its branded recipe books were part of how it connected with home cooks.
For readers today, books credited to Carnation Milk Products Company offer a glimpse into everyday American kitchen history: simple, practical recipes shaped by the rise of packaged dairy products and early twentieth-century home economics.
