The Home Builder who has Traveled and Spent Years in Preparation for the Work so Much Needed in American Homes



I TAKE pleasure in submitting to you a few of the many press notices which have been given me throughout the country which will no doubt convince you of the high character of my work, which is not only practical and instructive for the housewife of moderate means, but furnishes dainty ideas for the busy club woman, a most important factor in these days of strenuous life for both men and women.

I take up all departments of the home from its very foundation, taking my audiences into the closing days of our existence.

Especial thought is given to Principles of Cookery, Food and Dietetics, Household Management, Household Hygiene, Household Bacteriology, Study of Child Life, Home Care of the Sick, in fact a course of these lectures is a liberal education.

The following list of subjects given on the platform during these lectures will convey to you an idea of the work I will give your Chatauquas and Lyceum.

A few of the subjects discussed and illustrated:

Dainty Salads of America, Preparation of Beverages, Their Food Value.
The Extravagant Cookery of America.
Why Foreign Cookery is More Economical.
The Dainty Savory Dishes of the French.

Preparation of Vegetables and Their Food Value.
Preparation of Meats and their Place in Our Dietery.


French, Scotch, Spanish, Dutch, Swiss, Danish, Italian, and Japanese Cookery, all of which are given in the costume of the countries under discussion at the moment.

Mrs. F. Violet Sanborn's Lectures on Foreign Cookery, given in costume of the country who's cookery is under discussion at the moment, has taken the country by storm and filled to overflowing the largest halls in the cities she has visited.  The grill room of one of the leading stores in Milwaukee was filled to overflowing for the past two weeks.  These lectures are in demand at the leading Chautauquas throughout the country.


(Des Moines Press.)
Mrs. Sanborn's first lecture was given Monday afternoon when a large audience of Des Moines women listened to her quick and comprehensive dictations as to the best methods of making dainty quick bread and were completely won by the charming manner and clear brain of the New York woman who has won a national reputation as an authority on domestic science.

Food Lecturer in Jap Costume Talks to Women Mrs. F. Violet Sanborn
Tells of Cookery in Foreign Lands (Des Moines, Iowa)
The Costume lectures given by Mrs. F. Violet Sanborn in the Drill hall of the Coliseum this week have been the most popular lectures ever given in this city.

Each afternoon a packed hall has greeted her appearance on the platform.  Yesterday afternoon in Japanese costume, Mrs. Sanborn told the women of the cookery of that country.  The lecturer made a decided hit with the audience.  Mrs. Sanborn has learned her foreign cookery from traveling in the countries and she teaches nothing from theory.  Her French cookery was learned from a noted chef in one of the leading hotels of Paris where Mrs. Sanborn was staying when a girl.  Mrs. Sanborn has acquired a reputation all over the country and there is probably no better authority on cooking.


(Montana Press)
Mrs. Sanborn has spent considerable time in different countries over the world, learning the dishes which are peculiar to the various people and has given many interesting talks upon the cooking of the different nations and the difficulties which she sometimes encountered in obtaining the recipes for them

(Dubuque Daily Times-Journal)
These lectures are intended to impart a knowledge of the laws of health and understanding of the sanitary requirements of the house the study of values, both absolute and relative of the various articles used in the home, including food, the wise expenditure of money, time and energy, the scientific principles underlying the selection and preparation of food and the care of children, both physical and mental.


(Nashville, Tennessee.)
Not a crank nor a theorist, she combines the strictly practical with the strictly scientific in producing results which seem to the unthinking the effects of magic.  Working for the ultimate good of all mankind, she starts with the true foundation—the home—and elevates the whole mass by raising its supports.  She is herself a home maker, and has studied the question with the help of practical experience.  She has correctly decided that to raise the level of the home she must first make the home an institution.  As the duties of the home life are an important factor in this, she has devoted her attention to these, and by her science has raised them from a drudgery to an exact science.  She has been disseminating her doctrine all over the country, and the results have fully justified her conclusions.
