It is nicely written, conveys a tremendous amount of information, and weaves beautifully the personal details of LKB's life with the life of the community and the larger narrative of American history. She really comes to life in this piece." ( Hasia Diner, The Paul S. Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History and the Director of the Goldstein-Goren Center for American Jewish History at NYU) "What a delight to finally get to know the real Lizzie Kander in A Recipe for Success . Lizzie Kander is my hero -- she found other doorways when men closed doors to women, and she told us the secret -- it was through their hearts and tummies. Lizzie understood the power of food to nourish, to educate, to calm, to raise money, and to spread love. This powerful Badger Biography tells this story beautifully, and whets our appetites to learn more about the important women in America's past."
