A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The aim of this little pamphlet is to familiarize settlement workers and progressive housewives with a few fundamental principles used in making out bills of fare according to food values. Not that the cooks art is not also essential, but that it is another matter. It can make savory these valuable food materials, but it cannot make one pound of potato worth as much for nutrition as one pound of rice, or one pound of sugar or of fat to yield the nitrogen which is found in meats and legumes. To do this estimating there is needed, ist, a list of the common food substances used, giving the grams and calories in each pound as bought; 2d, the composition by weight of the dishes made from these food materials, which makes possible, 3d, the food value of each dish. For the cost of the bill of fare is needed, 4th, the prices per pound as purchased, and, 5th, the amounts to be served a definite number of persons (a) when it is the chief dish, (6) when it is one of several. To boil down two or three hundred cook-books into twenty pages is doubtless to destroy the peculiar lightness and delicacy of aroma and to replace it by a dark thick mass which at first sight may have little attractiveness. And yet many gallons of light-colored foamy cider are boiled down to make one of the dark thick syrup which the old New England housewife used to such good advantage during the long cold winter in flavoring the otherwise monotonous diet.
