DIABETIC COOKERY RECIPES AND MENUS BY REBECCA W. OPPENHEIMER NEW YORK E. P. BUTTON & COMPANY 681 FIFTH AVENUE COPYRIGHT, 1917 BY E. P. BUTTON & COMPANY Printed in the United States of America LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA iANTA BARBARA ': PREFACE THE author would feel diffidence in publishing a cook book when so many excellent ones already exist, if it were not that she is here treating a special field in which her opportunities for observation and practice have been exceptional. Because of her own need, the author became interested in diabetic foods given to patients in the highly successful treatments at Carlsbad and Neuenahr, where she spent her summers for eight years. Each year she saw the preparation of special recipes, worked out with scrupulous accuracy of measurement, and with unusual success in making the whose appetites were unby little she collected and adapted the recipes which appear in this book. Each one has been cooked and tested by the author under the dietaries attractive to patients certain and difficult to satisfy. Little direction of a physician. The tastes of the normal individual have been, and are being, catered to in a plethora of cook books, but the needs of the diabetic must be met in quite a different fashion. Little has been done for the general public in this country in preparing special recipes for the diabetic, and in working out their food values. Inasmuch as each person's carbohyis different, it is absolutely essential that the of each recipe be known; only then content carbohydrate can it be safely used. Furthermore, under some conditions, when the carbohydrate content of the diet is reduced, extra protein and fat are prescribed by the doctor to meet drate tolerance the energy requirement of the individual. Accordingly PREFACE vi the author has had the protein, fat, and carbohydrate grams, as well as the total value in calories, computed for each recipe. She believes that her work should make it possible for those who have the problem of a diabetic dietary to combine each day's rations in a way to be both safe and attractive. The recipes and readily understood Thanks and menus are so arranged that they are and directions can be easily followed. grateful acknowledgment are due to the Richard Stein for his unfailing interest in this undertaking and to Miss Helene M. Pope of Teachers The author is College for her valued help in computation. under special obligation to Mrs. Mary S. Rose whose Laboratory Handbook for Dietetics has been used as the late Dr. basis of all calculations. REBECCA W. OPPENHEIMER.

CRYSTALLOSE SPECIAL ARTICLES (Where these can be purchased) TABLE OF MEASUREMENTS AND EQUIVALENTS. Diabetic Cookery Preliminary Remarks i. BREADS, CAKES, etc. Vary bread, muffins, rolls, cakes, etc., daily. A small quantity, just sufficient for one or two days' use at most, should be baked at a time, as any bread, etc., baked with Casoid Flour, Aleuronat or Almond Flour grows stale and tasteless very quickly. 2. BUTTER Use sweet (unsalted) butter ing purposes, wherever it every meal, unless its use 3. Top bottle, etc., as is is for the table, possible. and for cook- Serve butter with forbidden. CREAM i. e., the milk which rises to the top of the should be used for preparing sauces, custards, milk, it is really thin cream, 20%; heavy as thick cream, 40%, but 3 it it is is not quite so more digestible, DIABETIC COOKERY 4 and answers all purposes, except for making ice creams, mousses, parfaits, etc. Serve sour cream, 2-3 days old, frequently in place of cheese. 4. FLOUR Prepare almond flour or meal at home; this is a very simple process and insures absolute purity. Do not grind more than y% Ib. almonds at a time, as they mold quickly. Blanch y% Ib. Valencia almonds; dry thoroughly; grind very fine in an almond grinder; sift like ordinary flour; keep in a covered glass jar in a cool place. 5. When saccharin is SACCHARIN used for sweetening, dissolve one or two half-grain tablets in a teaspoonful of warm water, and add to the mixture. In sweetening cooked fruits, add saccharin just before serving. 6. CRYSTALLOSE Dissolve 8-10 crystals in i oz. of hot water, when cool pour into a small bottle, cork well, keep in a dark place; use for sweetening as directed. 6-8 drops are generally sufficient. 7.

Breads, etc., made from Casoid flour, require skillful handling in mixing, and, most important of all, they require just the right oven heat to bake them properly.

Typical Dietaries NOTE DIETARIES 1. 2. FOR AUTUMN (A), ( FOR SPRING (A}, (B) 3. FOR WINTER (A}, (B) FOR SUMMER (A), () 4. FOR AN ABSTINENCE DAY . TYPICAL DIETARIES NOTE In the division immediately following there appear bills of fare, two adapted to each of the four seasons, and one for an abstinence day, with the exact nine computation of their food values. The work done on these dietaries is typical of that which must be done for the diabetic, as soon as his carbohydrate tolerance is determined by the physician. Thereafter, in planning his diet, it is absolutely essential that weights and measures be accurate; guessing will nt>t do. Ordinarily no one who is not thoroughly trained in such a meal work can how many tell calories it accurately at the end of furnished him; or with any measure of certainty, the proportion of protein, fat, and carbohydrate it contained especially when exact recipes are not known. But the lay reader of this book will be spared depressing doubts as to whether his own computations are correct; nor will he constantly have to consult a dietician. For the work of computing carefully tested recipes has been done for him in the pages preceding; food values have been given for the edible portions per pound of meat, With such data it fish, vegetables, cheese, and nuts. is possible to reckon food values in the day's ration very closely, as in the typical 146 bills of fare that follow. DIABETIC COOKERY When the carbohydrate tolerance 147 is only 40 grams, becomes necessary to raise the proportion of protein above 100 grams, approaching 140, and to keep the fat about 200 grams, to produce an energy requirement of 2500 calories. If the carbohydrate tolerance is higher, say 60, 80, or even 100 a small allowance, it grams a day, the planning is less difficult. In examining the bills of fare here presented, it will be seen that one follows the plan of dinner at night, the other, of dinner at noon the former dietary, then, may represent a day in which luncheon might be eaten in a restaurant which caters only to persons of normal food requirements. Special care should be ; taken in such cases to keep the luncheon simple, avoiding pastry of all kinds, and indulging very sparThe foods chosen should ingly in bread or crackers. in be those which always protein and fat predominate, such as meat, fish, cheese, and nuts, with the addition of simple salads of lettuce, celery, romaine, or endive, amount of digestible carbo- for example, in which the hydrates is small.
