Carnation Milk Products Company

Carnation Milk Products Company was the corporate name behind the Carnation brand, which grew out of the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company founded in 1899 in Kent, Washington. The business became widely known for canned milk products and for promoting home cooking through branded recipes and household guides.

As an author credit, the company is most often associated with community-style cookbooks and promotional recipe collections rather than a single literary voice. One well-known example is My Hundred Favorite Recipes, a cookbook also associated with Mary Blake, reflecting the company's role in sharing simple, accessible dishes built around evaporated milk.

Because this is a company credit rather than a person, there is no clear single-author life story in the usual sense. Its interest today is mostly historical: these books capture an era when food brands published practical kitchen advice and recipe pamphlets that became part of everyday family cooking.
