| Abstract: Learning to Cook … is more than just a cookbook or a collection of nostalgic recipes. It documents efforts Irma Rosenthal took to educate herself about cooking, nutrition, health, and household management as a young, middle class Chicago bride of German-Jewish heritage at the turn of the century. There are traditional German receipts, as well as ones from local newspapers and women’s magazines, demonstrating Irma’s efforts to combine her family’s culinary traditions with modern American foodways. The book offers insights into everyday life of the era, the sphere of women’s experience, and the customs of Midwest German and German-American communities. | |

| Abstract: Born to Create is an inspirational autobiography chronicling Dr. Rosalie H. Contino's professional transition from successful seventh grade English teacher to a newfound career in the arts. While most forty-year old professionals are busy building upon the foundation that several years of hard work produced, Contino made the bold decision to quench the burning desire within to pursue the passion to create. enjoying her creative careers as a costume designer, costume historian, playwright, and lecturer, Contino provides hope and a blueprint for those considering making the foray into the unknown and sometimes scary realm of the future. Writing in a comfortable conversational manner, Born to Create maintains a swift tempo while consistently providing an inspirational message for those harboring unrealized ambitions. | |
