Lina Meier

Very little biographical information about Lina Meier is easy to confirm online, but she is closely associated with The Art of German Cooking and Baking, a cookbook that introduced readers to German dishes, breads, cakes, and pastries in English.

She is also referred to as Lina Wachtelborn Meier in library and Wikimedia records. Her work has remained of interest because it preserves older German culinary traditions in a practical, household style that still appeals to cooks looking for traditional recipes.

Because reliable personal details are scarce, it is safest to remember her primarily through her cookbook and its lasting place in German-American food writing.
