H.S. Anderson, the dietitian at Loma Linda Sanitarium, published a cookbook called The Science of Food and Cookery in 1921. The sanitarium was operated by the Seveth Day Adventist Church. Over the years the sanitarium grew and expanded, and is now Loma Linda Unversity. According to the cookbook’s introduction, it was “not merely a vegetarian cookbook, but a treatise on food and nutrition as well; and as such we send it forth on its mission of health.” Many of the chapter headings include a quote that lays out the book’s philosophy.
Fascinating some of the old cookbooks…you must have quite a collection, I only have two a dairy cookbook and an old Mrs Beatons…
They are the group with the longer life-span. They were on to something back then.
Love the quote in this chapter heading!
A wearisome malady!! That is most amusing. I’ve known a few people with that sickness.
Wonderful to see these headings, Sheryl.
The vegetarian lifestyle is one that many embrace. I like my meat, but all things in moderation! Love the idea of the chapters with quotes.
Cute artwork, too!
Food well cooked is partially digested? That sounds sketchy! hahaha!!
What fun! I love vintage cookbooks. This one was exciting to read too, as I grew up not too far from Loma Linda.
Love the quotes.xxx
I so agree with the wearisome malady.
