Published as America rationed meat for the war, this is a whole cuisine built without it — nut roasts and cheese soufflés, dasheen and okra soups, vegetable gelatine, and a chapter on what to do with the whites of eggs.

The Menus

Twenty-one breakfasts, twenty-two luncheons, twenty-four dinners and nine menus for the holidays, printed at the back of the book as bills of fare.

Where's the cook? Is supper ready, the house trimmed, rushes strewed, cobwebs swept?
Shakespeare.
