NEW BOOKS.
UNCOOKED FOODS AND HOW TO USE THEM, by Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Christian.
(Published by The Health-Culture company, 151 West Twenty-third street, New York For sale by all booksellers. Price $1.00.)
The authors of the book treat the diet question in rather a different manner from other writers on the same subject.
They claim that the application of heat in the cooking of food destroys, to a certain degree, some of the very important elements in the food.
The work opens with a general consideration of the question of food. The various products as cereals, fruits, nuts, milk, etc., are taken up with comparative tables of food values, time of digestion, etc., the effects of cooking are set forth, and the preparation of uncooked foods, showing that the doing away with this would emancipate woman from the thraldom of the kitchen and the cook stove.
The practical part of the work takes up "How to Begin the Use of Uncooked Foods" and "The Proper Use of the Uncooked Foods for Various Conditions."
There are some 200 recipes for the preparation of fruits, cereals, vegetables, nuts, salads, cakes, puddings, sauces, creams, etc., with a seven days' menu.
The work is simple, straightforward, clear, complete and carefully written.
