Maria Berg Reinertsen has received a grant of NOK 125 000 for the book project "To kill a rabbit. The life of Henriette Schønberg Erken (1866–1953)". Erken completely dominated the Norwegian cookbook market in the early half of the 1900s, not least with her masterpiece The Big Cookbook. Using the story of Henriette Schønberg Erken, Reinertsen seeks to understand the moral overtones of the food and the place of the cookbook in Norway, as well as to show the development of the role played by women in the past century. Reinertsen has signed a contract with CappelenDamm, and the book is scheduled for publication in autumn 2013.

The list of the major grants made by the Fritt Ord Foundation in October 2011 has now been published.
