Recipe Booklet, "Knox On-Camera Recipes: A Completely New Guide to Gel-Cookery," 1960

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. This booklet features easy-to-follow recipes with some accompanied by step-by-step photographs to document the process.
