Margo Oliver (1923 – 4 June 2010) was a Canadian writer on cooking. == Life == Margo Oliver was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. After a brief stint as a legal secretary, in 1950 she earned an undergraduate degree in home economics from the University of Manitoba, followed by a year of graduate work at the University of Minnesota. She then worked for General Mills in Minneapolis. She became Canada's first "Betty Crocker" after General Mills expanded its operations into Canada. As "Betty Crocker", she spent four years traveling throughout Canada, appearing on radio and television, speaking to groups and giving cooking demonstrations. She joined the staff of the (now defunct) Montreal Standard newspaper in 1959 as food editor of the weekend newspaper supplement, "Weekend Magazine", and its successor "Today", until 1982 when "Today" ceased publication. At her behest, the Standard built a proper test kitchen for her where she tested recipes for her columns in "Weekend Magazine" and "Today". In 1993, she was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Ontario Home Economists in Business (OHEIB). Oliver died in Fergus, Ontario. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margo Oliver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
