EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the Recipes Naval cooking school on 59th St. in New York City, between 1915 and 1918. The image shows students gathered around a blackboard covered with recipes for rye bread and other foods, as they are being trained to cook for the Navy during World War I.
The scene is filled with nostalgia, showcasing the dedication of these soldiers who were learning essential culinary skills to support their fellow servicemen. The men are dressed in traditional military attire, wearing aprons over their uniforms as they focus intently on the instructions written before them.
The setting is simple yet powerful, with wooden tables and chairs adding to the atmosphere of a classroom dedicated to preparing these brave soldiers for their important role in feeding those serving our country. This snapshot from the early 20th century serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by so many during wartime, highlighting the importance of education and training even in unexpected fields such as cooking.
Overall, this print from Bain News Service offers a glimpse into a lesser-known aspect of military life during World War I, shedding light on the dedication and hard work put forth by these students at the New York Cooking School.
