  • Betty Crocker First Lady of Food
    Famous Food Icons Betty Crocker First Lady of Food Alison L. Eldridge, PhD, RD Suzanne C. Goodsell he is recognized by millions from the cookbooks that grace our kitchens and the cake mixes that S have helped us celebrate our lives. To many, Betty Crocker seems as familiar as a friend. We were raised on her recipes and enjoy the convenience of her Helpers, mixes, and frostings even today. Although she never was a real person, this American icon was ‘‘born’’ in 1921 and since then has become synonymous with helpfulness, trustworthiness, and quality in the kitchen. Who would believe Betty Crocker is 85 years old! Betty is Born The idea for Betty Crocker began with a Gold Medal 1955 flour promotion published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1921. Washburn Crosby Company, the forerunner of General Mills, offered consumers a flour sack pin cushion for correctly completing a jigsaw puzzle depicting a milling scene. Surprisingly, 30,000 finished puzzles were returned, along with hundreds of letters asking questions about baking. A savvy in-house advertising director leaped at the opportunity, convincing company leaders to invent a friendly woman to personally reply to each customer inquiry. The name ‘‘Betty’’ was chosen because it sounded friendly and wholesome. ‘‘Crocker’’ was added in honor of a recently retired director, William G. Crocker. To develop the distinctive Betty Crocker signature, an informal contest was held among female employees. The winning entry remains the basis of today’s Betty Crocker signature. Betty Crocker’s name was first used in print advertisements and on letters offering cooking and baking advice and then for company-sponsored regional cooking schools.

In the nineteenth century, the vast wheat growing regions of Minnesota and the Dakotas as well as the water power provided by the massive drop in the river known as St. Anthony Falls attracted settlers and entrepreneurs to what is now Minneapolis. One of the most important of these entrepreneurs was Cadwallader Colden Washburn, a businessman and politician from Wisconsin. He was interested in the water power opportunities of the falls and owned the massive flour mills of the Washburn Crosby Company.

  • Home Cooking: Betty Crocker and Womanhood in Early Twentieth-Century America
    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 21 (2010) Home Cooking: Betty Crocker and Womanhood in Early Twentieth-Century America Ai HISANO* INTRODUCTION In 1932 the milling company General Mills, Inc. printed a recipe book- let entitled 15 Ways to a Man’s Heart “by Betty Crocker.” This twenty- four-page booklet introduced “fifteen simplified recipes” as a way to impress one’s husband and to reach his heart by cooking what he likes to eat.1 Since the early twentieth century, cookbooks and food advertise- ments have frequently exhorted women to associate food with love with phrases such as the “way to man’s heart is through his stomach.”2 In her book about food advertisements, Katherine J. Parkin contends that advertisers “consistently used the ‘food is love’ dictum to sanctify the connection between women and food.”3 In particular, women’s maga- zines, cookbooks, and advertisements articulated that food cooked at home was one of the most important ways to demonstrate one’s love. Many food companies presented their products as “homemade” foods to their female customers, even while these were becoming increasingly precooked and packaged from the late nineteenth century onward. By analyzing the romanticizing of homemade foods in the early twentieth- century United States, we can see how home cooking came to be Copyright © 2010 Ai Hisano. All rights reserved.
