Book Description

This "condensed home study course" covers "functions of food, methods of cooking, glossary of usual culinary terms," etc. The book was advertised in Simmons' Spice Mill periodical as "a hundred-dollar course in domestic science boiled down into a single volume by an expert ... who had the honor of baking President Wilson's wedding cake," and was offered by Calumet in exchange for two proofs-of-purchase plus 20 cents to cover mailing costs. The volume is illustrated with a number of charts showing various foodstuffs brokin into their "food material" composition; also present is a diagram shoing the ideal layout of a bungalow kitchen.
