Food Health and Efficiency Lessons in Nutrition and Healthful Food Preperation

This appears to be the first edition of a book that was prepared for use in Home Health Education classes under the direction of the Medical Department of the General Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists. The focus is on a vegetarian lifestyle. Chapters include The Adequate Diet, Protein, Foods for Energy, Minerals, Vitamins, The Child and Good Nutrition and Digestion. Each chapter includes recipes and menus. Given the date, the assumption is that mothers are staying home and many of the recipes are quite time consuming. Also, given the wide array of meat substitues available today, such concoctions as Gluten slices don't sound very appetizing to the modern cook! There is an emphasis on low sugar, but the one hand-written recipe tucked in the book is for coconut-pecan-cherry candy balls made with powdered sugar sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips! Fascinating look at ideas about nutrition nearly seventy years ago. The book was reprinted and probably updated until 1983 - it would be interesting to see any changes. Condition is VG with a little edge wear and some food staing onthe back cover. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 111 pages.…
