Meet Melinda Sekela | Betty Crocker Makers

Residing in Brooklyn, New York, I am a graphic designer and writer with a lifelong devotion to cooking and a deep affection for collecting vintage cookbooks and dishware. In 2021, I started a YouTube series, Unboxing Betty, which chronicles my culinary journey through the illustrious Betty Crocker's 1971 Recipe Card Library—a remarkable compendium of the era's most beloved and iconic mid-century recipes. This endeavor not only allows me to indulge in my culinary passions but also provides a unique avenue for delving into the rich history and profound impact of food corporations on American culture.
