About the author
An American cookbook writer, Eva Greene Fuller is best known for The Up-to-Date Sandwich Book, first published in 1909 by A. C. McClurg & Co. The book was devoted entirely to sandwiches and offered hundreds of variations, showing how seriously — and creatively — everyday food could be treated.
The surviving reference sources available here identify her as having lived from about 1872 to 1947. While detailed biographical information is scarce, her work has lasted because it captures a lively corner of domestic cooking history and gives modern readers a glimpse of early 20th-century tastes, presentation, and entertaining.
Today, Fuller is remembered less for a large public profile than for one memorable achievement: creating a focused, inventive cookbook around a familiar food and making it surprisingly expansive. That narrow subject is exactly what makes her stand out.
