Physical Culture Cook Book or Calendar of Dinners with 615 Recipes

Physical Culture Cook Book

Author: Bernarr MacFadden

Originally published in 1901, the Physical Culture Cook Book represents the philosophy of physical culture, a combination of body-building with nutritional and health theories. Believing that "food, properly cooked, properly eaten, in proper quantity has a vast influence upon the strength, beauty and suppleness of the body [and] [t]he brain, too," the recipes emphasize fresh foods, whole grains, and the proper combinations of foods. This book is an antecedent to today's slow foods and health conscious living movements.

Calendar of Dinners with 615 Recipes

Author: Marion Harris Harris Neil

A Calendar of Dinners was originally published in 1913 and contains 615 recipes.

The culinary world revised its entire cookbook on account of the advent of Crisco, a new and altogether different cooking fat.

Many wondered that any product could gain the favor of cooking experts so quickly. A few months after the first package was marketed, practically every grocer in the United States was supplying women with the new product.

This was largely because four classes of people: housewives chefs doctors dietitians - were glad to be shown a product which at once would make for more digestible foods, more economical foods, and better tasting foods.
