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

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

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 author has had the protein, fat, and carbohydrate
grams, as well as the total value in calories, computed for
each recipe.

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.

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

all purposes, except for making ice creams,

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.

When

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.

Existing conditions may make it difficult at present to obtain Aleuronat Flour, or Casoid Flour, as these preparations are manufactured
abroad. As a substitute use Lyster's Prepared Casein Diabetic Flour,

REMARKS
Casoid takes the
first
rank as a flour for diabetics,
and therefore a
special chapter is devoted to its use
in the preparation of Bread, Muffins, Desserts, etc.
Casoid, to a great extent, has solved the problem
which confronts the cook as to a substitute for wheat
bread, and, as a diabetic naturally craves bread, the substitute must come as near to the real article as possible.
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.
A
and practice will produce good results,
to
both the patient and the cook.

Use fresh tender vegetables; clean thoroughly and
examine carefully before cooking. Remove all the
withered leaves, inedible parts, etc. Almost without
exception, vegetables should be boiled in salted boiling water in an uncovered or only partly covered
pan. When the vegetables have boiled rapidly for
fifteen minutes, drain off the water, replace
with
boil-
ing water, cook fifteen minutes again, drain, replace
with boiling water, and cook until tender. This rule
holds good for the herbaceous vegetables, viz., cabbage, spinach, and

a trace of saccharin be added, a palatable drink free from
milk sugar is produced which has almost the same taste as
milk and which contains a large amount of fatty material.
