Good Food How to Prepare It - The Principles of Cooking, and Nearly Five Hundred Carefully Selected Recipes

By George E. Cornforth

Book Overview

The lessons herewith presented are not merely on cooking, but on the healthful preparation of food so that it will be wholesome as well as appetizing. It is recognized that there is a very close relation between diet and health, diet and efficiency, diet and morals. It has been said, "The soul that would soar has often been fettered by a pork-and-pancake-fed body." It has also been well said, "The woman who thoughtfully selects proper food and drink for husband, father, brother, or little ones, exerts a far-reaching influence toward clean thinking and successful achievement." Because this book is on healthful cookery, no use is made of certain substances sometimes called "food adjuncts," which are usually spoken of in connection with the food principles -- I mean spices and condiments. These are not foods; they are not nutritious; they do the body no good, but do their- little part, along with many other things, in bringing on old age and the early breaking down of the vital organs. A Paris physician has shown that the acid of vinegar is twice as active as alcohol in producing degeneration of the arteries, and that pepper is six times as active. Persons who eat an abundance of fruit generally find that they do not crave condiments and spices.
