Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to the theory and art of nutrition. It is written by an experienced health practitioner and based on the most advanced scientific findings of the 19th century. It classifies foods into their main categories: proteids, fats, amyloids, and minerals; then explores their function in the body, their caloric value, and the laws governing their preparation to best suit the body's needs. The book also offers an array of recipes organized by type: soups, porridges, recipes for making bread and cakes, ways of cooking eggs and cheese, how to prepare vegetables, pies, puddings, and more. However, the author cautions against using the book exclusively for recipes, rather, to use it as a guide to prepare wholesome and balanced meals with an understanding of the complex dietary needs of the body.
