Dr. August Oetker, German botanist, entrepreneur and founder of the company Oetker; he earned his doctorate in botanics in 1888.
Oetker invented baking powder although, it was invented before. But Oetker was the first to market it to home users.
In 1891, he bought the Aschoffsche pharmacy in Bielefeld and developed a baking agent, which was designed to ensure the success of the baking process.
Due to successful marketing, Oetker's products sold quite well and soon the old pharmacy had turned into a successful company. In 1900, Oetker built his first manufacturing plant and by 1906 had sold 50 million packages of Backin.
Prior to Oetker, Justus von Liebig and his American student, Eben Horsford, had already discovered baking powder. However, Oetker targeted mainly private households with his products whereas Horsford targeted bakeries.

I follow the standard manly culinary guidelines; know how to cook a few dishes, chili, spaghetti, and meats that require open flame. So for variety and the sake of loved ones who are around when it’s my turn to cook, I ventured into a new cookbook.
Some of the meals and instructions are pretty basic, like how to fry a pork chop, or make a green bean salad, so perfect for rookie chefs like me! I’ve ventured into a variety of the potato dishes, Rosti for example and some potato salads, oh yeah, and even breaded a pork chop.
I always order spaetzle at German restaurants so am eager to try to make it according to this recipe, mmm doesn’t look too hard after all.
This book has plenty of photos, measurements in both metric and English, overviews for in general information on different kinds of meats or potatoes, veggies.
Guten appetit!
