The history and art of recipes played on the radio

The sharing of recipes is not only through cookbooks, television and the web but also on the radio. Contemporary radio shows, such as American Public Media’s “The Splendid Table” hosted by Lynne Rossetto Kasper, have been continuing the art of recipe telling on the airwaves since the early 20th century. In fact, the glory days of radio homemaking began in the 1920s, increased in popularity during the Depression years and lasted up until the 1960s when television took the scene. Providing a community for the radio homemaker were women such as Evelyn Corrie Birkby, of Sidney, Iowa, who chatted about domestic life, sharing best recipes and cooking tricks.

Women’s basketball progress report: Height, experience helping Gators early

Midway through the nonconference schedule of the Florida Gators women’s basketball team, things are starting to click. Sitting comfortably at 5-1, Florida’s lone loss came against St. John’s on the road. With tough victories over quality opponents Georgetown and Virginia Tech, Florida’s hustle and effort highlighted an improved team – one that wants to not just outscore its opponent, but also ensure the other team finds it as difficult as possible to get the ball in the basket.
