Recipe Booklet, "Mrs. Knox Low-Sugar Desserts and Salads," circa 1930
01
Artifact Overview
Charles B. Knox revolutionized the use of gelatin in 1889 when he developed a method for granulating gelatin (before this, gelatin was sold in sheet form). When Knox passed away in 1908, his wife Rose took over the Knox Gelatine company, marketing its gelatin to American housewives. Recipe booklets, like this one, provided creative uses for the ready-made product.
