Duncan Hines (1880--1959) may be best known for the cake mixes, baked goods and bread products that bear his name, but most people forget that he traveled across America discovering restaurants and offering his recommendations to readers in his best-selling compilation Adventures in Good Eating. His biographer, Louis Hatchett, will explore the life and legacy of a savvy businessman, American icon and an often-overlooked culinary pioneer.

Louis Hatchett was born in Evansville, Indiana on April 8, 1955. Educated at public and private schools in Kentucky and Tennessee. B.A., University of Evansville, Evansville, Indiana. Masters, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, Kentucky. He lives in Henderson, Kentucky.

Things you will be thrilled to know:
- We will serve a Duncan Hines cake mix.
- We will serve a Duncan Hines recipe from scratch.
- There will be an original Duncan Hines guide and cookbook, one with his signature. Caveat - I have to find where I put them ...
You will miss the opportunity to see, touch and taste, because a podcast will never offer that!

Meanwhile, I found those pesky Duncan Hines books!

Regards,

Enjoyed Louis' presentation...and the desserts! thanks for hosting!
