Ruth Jones Graves Wakefield (née Graves; June 17, 1903 – January 10, 1977) was an American chef, best known for her innovations in the baking field. Ruth pioneered the first chocolate chip cookie recipe, an invention many people incorrectly assume was a mistake.[1] Her new dessert, supposedly conceived of as she returned from a vacation in Egypt, is the inspiration behind the massively popular Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie.[2] Throughout her life, Ruth found occupation as a dietitian, educator, business owner, and published author, most notably of the cookbook, Ruth Wakefield’s, Toll House: Tried and True Recipes.[3]
