It's from 2004. Just found it.

(What's also interesting is that I found out, from the end, that Farmer
died in 1915 - but I haven't found any articles about the centenary,
which was on Jan. 15th. Nothing in Google News either. Maybe no one
took notice?)

"Fannie in the Kitchen: The Whole Story from Soup to Nuts of How Fannie
Farmer Invented Recipes with Precise Measurements."

Written by Deborah Hopkinson and illustrated by Nancy Carpenter.

From Publishers Weekly:

Prepared to perfection and served up with style, this historical nugget
imagines an interlude in the life of cookbook pioneer Fannie Farmer, who,
prior to her stint at the Boston Cooking School, worked as a mother's
helper. As Hopkinson (Maria's Comet) envisions it, the daughter of
the house--who has a touch of the Eloise gene--is not at all pleased
with Fannie's arrival. "I'm your helper," the spunky Marcia protests to
her mother, but she soon becomes an acolyte: "Fannie seemed like a
magician who could make mashed potatoes fluffier than clouds and blueberry
pies sweeter than a summer sky." Marcia's many culinary flops, on the
other hand, from discovering that she has cracked a rotten egg into her
batter to flipping a griddle cake onto the cat, ultimately inspire
the unflappable Fannie to write down precise instructions in a precursor
to her immortal cookbook. Cleverly served up in seven brief "courses,"
the proceedings are garnished with Carpenter's irreverent illustrations,
which seamlessly incorporate period engravings within pen-and-wash
drawings. Her scenes wittily spoof Victorian decorum, whether showing
the perfectly coiffed and coutured lady of the house greedily licking her
plate or the initially sullen Marcia, slumped in a chair with her back to
the reader, her scowl reflected in a pair of water glasses, a gravy boat
and a decanter. The biographical afterword and an appended pancake recipe
are simply icing on the (griddle) cake. Ages 4-9.

However, here's one recipe I found in Google News, re Farmer. It's for
raspberry cream cheese brownies:
