About the author
Cora Moore is known for Twenty-four Little French Dinners and How to Cook and Serve Them, published in 1919. The book was issued by E. P. Dutton & Company and is preserved today by sources including Project Gutenberg, the Internet Archive, and the Library of Congress.
Her writing suggests a talent for making formal dining approachable. Instead of presenting French cooking as something distant or overly grand, she organized complete dinner menus and recipes in a way that helped readers plan, cook, and serve meals at home.
Very little biographical information about her appears to be readily documented in the reliable sources I found. Because of that, the lasting public record of Cora Moore is centered mainly on her cookbook and its glimpse into American interest in French cuisine in the early 1900s.
