2015 marks the 110th anniversary of an iconic American dessert: the brownie! Fannie Farmer first published her Brownie recipe (no doubt using Boston's own local Baker's Chocolate) in her Boston Cooking School Cookbook. Her recipe made soft gooey brownies (thinner than those we are used to) and included walnuts, which were plentiful, thanks to the walnut and black walnut trees that grew in the area. Since Ms. Farmer's time, brownies now come in many variations--but we still love them, and we have her to thank! Give a cheer for Fannie Farmer!
