Substitutes for Flesh Foods: Vegetarian Cook Book

The author argues that health risks in animal products make plant-based diets preferable and offers practical guidance for vegetarian households that include eggs and dairy. The text combines a short dietary rationale and hygiene principles with detailed descriptions of cooking methods—boiling, steaming, baking, stewing, broiling—and a wide collection of recipes and instructions covering soups, entrees, vegetables, cereals, bakery goods, puddings, salads, beverages, sauces, and nut butters. Emphasis is placed on wholesome ingredient combinations, economical preparation, and techniques for preserving flavor and nutrition in non-flesh dishes.
