Specializing in early 20th Century Drinking & Dining
Food History & Culinary Narratives from the early 20th Century
Author of the acclaimed historical novel “The Last Night on the Titanic,” and the forthcoming “Titanic: The Official Cookbook: 40 Timeless Recipes for Every Occasion”. Veronica Hinke shares her love of early 20th century history, culinary arts and most of all…. people. “Every food story I’ve ever written always, at the core of each one, ended up being about the people, and that doesn’t seem to change. This book is no different. Those stories of hope and resilience…I think that’s why the Titanic story is still alive today,”
My mouthwatering books, short stories and magazine articles explore food history and the delicious culinary narratives that take you back in time. My heart calling is writing and speaking about the early 20th century drinking and dining experience and personalties of that era.

If a book can be compared to a soft, warm sweater, that’s exactly how I’d describe Veronica Hinke’s The Last Night on the Titanic. The reader will find the text on each page purled with anecdotes and personal details about the luxury liner’s passengers and crew and want to snuggle deeper into each story and recipe…“
