Library
Wagner-Bacher has an extensive cookbook collection, the origins of which go back to the 17th century. The majority comes from the American cookbook author and employee of the American gourmet magazine Lillian Langseth-Christensen, who died in 1995 . The portion of the library that Langseth-Christensen brought to a foundation and made available to Wagner-Bacher alone comprises around 3500 books. The oldest piece from the collection is the pomegranate cookbook published in 1699 - one of the few originals that have survived.
