Excerpt from A Text-Book of Cookery, for Use in Schools, Containing an Undergraduate Course of Study
The health and well-being of the different members of every family depend largely upon wholesome food, properly prepared, and the head of every family should have a knowledge of the physical needs of each member thereof, and understand how to meet them. It is not necessary for her to know how to prepare complicated dishes and costly compounds; but it is necessary for her to know what food principles the crude materials contain, and how and in what propor tion they should be grouped in a meal; and also in what articles the material needed is to be had at the least cost. But, above all, it is important for her to know how this food should be cooked so as to develop and preserve its nutritive qualities, and to render it most appetizing and digestible.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously dissects the relationship between mealtime nourishment and domestic economics. Cooking is included as a key element in the economics of the home because of the direct link between the food we eat and our health. This book details how proper cooking methods can powerfully influence our well being, even providing specific dietary recommendations for individuals based on age and activity level. Its premise lies in the belief that 'whatever you wish to introduce into the life of a nation, you must introduce into the schools'. The author, Emma P. Ewing, sought to address the cause of the 'widespread feeling of anxiety among all classes of earnest men and women' in the late 19th and early 20th centuries regarding the health of their families. She believed education in the nutritional sciences could help alleviate this anxiety and lead to a healthier nation. Ewing's work was instrumental in the development of home economics education programs in the United States, making it an important and enduring contribution to the study of nutrition and domestic science.
