<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeremy Lopez, post: 11548260, member: 89807&quot;]The first edition of Baker&#039;s first cookbook came out in 1939, and a more widely available reprint after 1946, when he had gained a national reputation writing for Town &amp; Country and Gourmet. In 1927 he was pretty much unknown - working in publishing, trying to become a fiction writer/novelist. His future as a renowned (or cult-figure) cookbook author was still pretty far off; a tenacious self-promoter, *he* would have referred to his invention as &quot;the Baker Bar-ette,&quot; esp. if he was sending blurbs to magazines, but his name would&#039;ve had no cache in a department store.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
