But, at the last minute they were instead procured for the Beinecke Library at Yale University. Among the recipes were recipe pamphlets and recipes cards scrawled in O’Keeffe’s own hand. She was known for liking her meals to be just so, but also for perusing cookbooks before bed to get inspiration."
