L. P. Hubbard

L. P. Hubbard is credited as the author of A Little Book for a Little Cook, a children’s cookbook originally published by Pillsbury in 1905. The book is often noted as an early Pillsbury cookbook and is remembered for introducing simple, approachable cooking to young readers.

Beyond that published credit, reliable biographical details about Hubbard are scarce in the sources available during this search. Standard library and book listings confirm the name and the cookbook, but they do not provide a fuller life story, such as dates, background, or other works.

That lack of documentation makes Hubbard a somewhat elusive figure today. Even so, the surviving book offers a small but memorable glimpse into early twentieth-century home cooking and the way food writing was adapted for children.
