Product Description

(A little history about Lowney Chocolates and Maria). Walter M. Lowney, Chocolate King who created Lowney's Chocolates Empire. In 1893, after ten years of success in the Boston and Montreal Areas, Lowney's Chocolates won a gold medal at the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago, ILL. to honor the 400th Anniversary of Columbus Discovered America. Lowney's Boston Operation was housed on the same site which in 1979, at the time of this republishing, housed Filene's Dept. Store of Boston. Walter Lowney employed Maria Howard, as well as over 1,000 others at the height of his multi-national chocolate, cocoa and confectionsary empire's productivity. Lowney was the first to use modern chocolate dipping techniques and the first to box chocolates.The Original Lowney's Cook Book, written by Maria Willett Howard, published in 1907, had over sixty recipes using chocolate and cocoa, and featured the work of Maria Willett Howard. This cookbook is a republished edition for 1979 with additional recipes that Maria added after the first publication. After Maria published the first cookbook, she went on to head the culinary dept. of one of the most advanced colleges for self-supporting women in the nation. This is probably where the newer recipes came from after the 1907 publication. This book is a collector's item for those interested in the culinary arts of yesteryear.
