A Very Good copy. The pioneering cookbook authored by Lenna Frances Cooper (1875-1961) and Margaret Allen Hall, two dietitians who worked at the famous Battle Creek Sanitarium. The sanitarium was founded by members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. John Harvey Kellogg was the sanitarium's longtime director and promoted health regimens based on Seventh-day Adventist principles, European spas, and scientific innovations such as hydropathy and phototherapy. Cooper was inspired by Kellogg's approach to health and nutrition and advocated for clean, healthy living through a vegetarian diet. Most, if not all, of the recipes in The New Cookery are vegetarian, many of which incorporate legumes, nuts, and wheat as main ingredients. The recipes are listed under the following categories: "Beverages," "Cereals," "Fermented Breads," "Unfermented Breads," "Sandwiches and Toasts," "Dairy Products," "Soups," "Meat Substitutes and Entrees," "Macaroni and Italian Pastes," "Eggs," "Gravies and Sauces," "Vegetables," "Salads and Relishes," "Salad Dressings," "Desserts," "Puddings and Sauces," "Sauces for Puddings and Ice Cream," "Cakes," "Cake Frostings and Fillings," "Cookies and Small Cakes," and "Pastry and Pies."
