My older sister and I traipsed through my mom's old battered recipe folder together recently and had a laugh over ALL the recipes with gelatin in them. Mom was among those looking to keep her fingernails nice and strong thanks to all that Knox!
Mine too! I can remember her saying that and doing it. But I must admit, she had beautiful nails! 😂. It’s the images depicting women being forced by societal norms to be rail thin that is most offensive, to me. But I guess that was the time.
I’m Harrison, an ex fine dining industry line cook. My stack "The Secret Ingredient" adapts hit restaurant recipes (mostly NYC and L.A.) for easy home cooking. I'd love to connect and spur new growth between our audiences. Let me know if there is interest!

Rivetting piece, as always.
Such a fascinating story of an original “health food”! Thank you for including all of their advertisements.
Love this gelatin deep dive!
