Trivialities

General Mills developed Bisquick in 1931

In 1941 M&M's Plain Chocolate Candies debuted in six colors; red, green, yellow, orange, brown and violet. Tan replaces the violet eight years later.

Scott Lee founded his new baking company in Chicago during 1949, naming it after his 9 year-old daughter, Sara.

Bon Appétit begins as a free promotional booklet distributed through liquor stores in 1955.

It's still not Truffle time yet!

Did you know...

Ho Chi Minh once worked as a pastry chef under the legendary French master Auguste Escoffier.
