Marcia takes her job as her mother's official kitchen helper very seriously. So, when her mother decides to hire a woman named Fannie Farmer to prepare the family's meals, Marcia is left feeling hurt and entirely replaced. Fannie Farmer, however, is not your average cook. She believes in absolute precision, using exact measurements instead of just tossing ingredients into a bowl and hoping for the best. While Marcia is initially skeptical of these strict new rules, the smell of Fannie's incredible griddle cakes soon becomes impossible to resist. Before long, Fannie's charm and brilliant techniques win Marcia over. Together, they begin cooking up spectacular delights that Marcia never thought were possible. This fun, historical tale celebrates the real woman who revolutionized American cooking from soup to nuts.
