Sinopsis

Excerpt from Mrs. Allen's Cook Book

A well rounded dietary 15 the only sensible one. While we should eat to live instead of reversing the process, care in selection and judgment in preparation make our dietetic choice a matter of pleasure and profit as well as of duty.

The chemical composition of the body requires foods of similar composition. The author of this book in a delightfully simple manner has presented the problem so that, generally speaking, the body may extract from the foods the maximum amount of building and fuel mate rial with the least expenditure oi dynamic energy.

The housewife who studies these chapters cannot fail to find suggestions adaptable, economical and hygienic.

It will, of course, be understood that no class of food performs a strictly simple function. For example, while proteins are building foods, they also furnish a consider able amount of heat or energy. Likewise, fats and oils furnish energy and, to some extent, assist in tissue build ing. In other words, any food is likely to react outside its own class.
