Sarah Tyson Rorer (18 October 1849 – 27 December 1937) was an American food writer and pioneer in the field of domestic science.

[1][2][3] She was born in Richboro, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Charles Tyson Heston, a pharmacist, and Elizabeth Sagers.

She had completed courses at the Philadelphia Women's Medical College in the hopes of becoming a pharmacist at the time, but was asked to take over as the Club's teacher after the original instructor left.

Her most famous demonstrations were at the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904, where she was director and manager of the East and West pavilions.

[9] White housewives from the upper and middle classes made up the majority of Rorer's readers and students.
