Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Food Products of the World There is no more important factor in the successful conduct of the household than a knowledge of the composition of foods and their dietetic value, and no greater aid to the housewife in this direction has ever before been published. The working housekeeper is unconsciously a practical chemist, for unless she has some knowledge of the substances which she combines in various dishes she may produce some poor results from excellent materials. There is quite a goodly aggregate of information floating through the culinary air; this cook knows a little, that one, a bit more; and the better a cook is the less she is likely to know about the chemistry of foods. She may know that a little sugar or vinegar added to a soup or sauce that is too salt will modify the taste, but she probably does not know the reason why. She never has time to learn why things result as they do, but must learn from her more intelligent compeers or from her mistress just such facts as are stated in this book concerning the properties of foods and their nutritive value. In this respect this book may become a mine of knowledge to the cook and an incentive to better work. To the average half-trained cooking teacher it will indeed be useful, supplying her with the practical knowledge not found in other text books, for I do not know of one which covers the ground so thoroughly as this. Written by a woman who possesses a medical and chemical knowledge of foods, their properties and their relation to health, and who is also a skilled housewife, the value of the book is self evident. Dr. Green has a professional record that many men might envy. She has conducted a successful practice ever since her graduation from the Woman´s Medical College in Philadelphia in 1868, has long been a member of the American Medical Association, and was unanimously chosen to serve upon the Jury of Awards on Pood Products at the World´s Columbian Exposition.
