Then are some incredibly dense charts for baking a vast number of breads, cakes, rolls, sauces, biscuits, puddings, custards, 'starchy desserts,' cookies, and some desserts and drinks. The book starts with nineteen chapters of what I suppose must have been considered the essential divisions of food in the 1920s: fruits, drinks and beverages, eggs, milk, cereals, cheese dishes, meat, poultry, game, stuffings, fish and shell fish, vegetables, chowders, deep fat frying, sandwiches and hors d'oeuvres, pies and pastries, salads and salad dressings, frozen dishes, and icings. Let me see if I can bring across some of the weirdness of 1920s domestic science cooking. The recipes are a mix of classic Middle-Americana (red cabbage with sausage) and appalling home economics fashions of the 1920s (baked banana steak, which really is steak baked with bananas).

The book is full of sober discussions of 'body regulating and body building material,' 'roughage,' 'food value,' and 'nutritive matter.' The tone tries for a sort of super-hygienic, modern, professional scientific medical nutritionist affect (it's the same attitude that got rid of nasty old unhygienic Victorian kitchens, with their dark, decorative woodwork and cluttered work tables where everyone could sit together and talk, and replaced them with factory-like modern kitchens with sleek steel and formica countertops and storage cupboards and electric appliances). It's a funny old book, the size of a small novel, on mid-grade, non-glossy paper, sparsely illustrated, with a wipe-clean red checkerboard cover. A popular premium given away with a two year subscription to 'Good Housekeeping' magazine, this 1927 book went through five printings in its first year and is easy to find even today.
