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 prepara-
tion of special recipes, worked out with scrupulous accuracy
of measurement, and with unusual success in making the
dietaries attractive to patients whose appetites were un-
certain and difficult to satisfy. Little by little she collected
and adapted the recipes which appear in this book. Each
one has been cooked and tested by the author under the
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 carbohy-
drate tolerance is different, it is absolutely essential that the
carbohydrate content 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
the energy requirement of the individual. Accordingly
vi PREFACE
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 menus are so arranged that they are
readily understood and directions can be easily followed.
Thanks and grateful acknowledgment are due to the
late Dr. Richard Stein for his unfailing interest in this
undertaking and to Miss Helene M. Pope of Teachers
College for her valued help in computation. The author is
under special obligation to Mrs. Mary S. Rose whose
Laboratory Handbook for Dietetics has been used as the
basis of all calculations.

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 (imsalted) butter for the table, and for cook-
ing purposes, wherever it is possible. Serve butter with
every meal, unless its use is forbidden.
3. Cream
Top milk, i. e., the milk which rises to the top of the
bottle, should be used for preparing sauces, custards,
etc., as it is really thin cream, 20%; it is not quite so
heavy as thick cream, 40%, but it is more digestible,
3
4 DIABETIC COOKERY
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 j^ lb. almonds at a time, as they mold quickly.
Blanch ^ lb. Valencia almonds; dry thoroughly; grind
very fine in an almond grinder; sift like ordinary floiu*;
keep in a covered glass jar in a cool place.
5. Saccharin
When saccharin is 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. Special Articles
The following articles have been specially tested, and
are the preparations which should be used in cooking
for diabetics :

CASOID PREPARATIONS
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 sub-
stitute 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 little care and practice will produce good results,
satisfactory to both the patient and the cook.

Directions for Whipping Cream
See that cream is perfectly cold; it is well to keep it on
ice 2-3 hrs. before using.
Half fill a pan with cracked ice, and put the bowl
of cream in this pan; beat cream with a wire whip
or with a Dover beater until it is very stiff; if the
cream is cold it will take but a few minutes to become
stiff.

How TO Broil Fish
Clean fish; wipe with a cloth wet in cold salt water,
then with a clean dry fish towel; rub with oil or butter;
heat and grease broiler, to keep the fish from sticking;
broil over a clear fire, turning broiler frequently, as the
skin burns easily.
Time for broiling varies; if the fish is thick and there
is fear of its being underdone, place the broiler on a roast-
ing pan in the oven and finish cooking it. Raise the wires
carefully, so that the fish does not break, slide on a hot
dish; season with butter, pepper, and salt; garnish with
slices of lemon, and serve at once.
How TO Bake Fish
Wash fish in cold water; drain, and season with salt;
put in a covered bowl, and let it stand for several hours,
in a cool place. When ready to cook the fish, drain once
more and wipe perfectly dry; put in baking pan, dot with
butter; sprinkle with chopped parsley, add one bay leaf,
6 pepper corns, a clove, one small sliced onion, a slice of
seeded lemon, and a cup of stock; bake until tender, bast-
ing frequently; when nearly done, thicken the sauce with
2-3 tablespf. sour cream. Serve very hot.

NOTE —
It is unnecessary to go into details about the prepara-
tion of meats. Boiled meats are not nutritious and
therefore not very desirable ; they may be served occa-
sionally with sauces, (See Meat Sauces.) Fried meats
should be entirely cut out of the Bill of Fare.
Steaks and Lamb Chops should be broiled, or pan broiled.
Beef, either roasted, or cooked in a casserole.
Veal, either roasted, or cooked in a casserole.
78 DIABETIC COOKERY
Veal Cutlets and Veal Chops (use very rarely) breaded,
and fried in butter.
Lamb roasted, braised, or cooked in a casserole.
Pork roasted.
Fowl, boiled and served with sauces. (See Meat Sauces.)
Spring Chickens, broiled or braised.
Chickens, roasted and stuffed, or cooked in a casserole.
Turkey, Geese, Du^ks, and Capons, roasted and stuffed.
Squabs and Pigeons, broiled, braised, and stuffed or
cooked in a casserole.
Small birds, i. e.. Quail, Partridge, Plover, Reed Birds,
etc., are good either broiled,' pan broiled, or braised.
Larger birds, such as Canvasback, or other Wild Ducks,
Snipe, Grouse, and Wild Turkey, are best roasted.
Venison, best roasted.
How TO Braise Meat
Use pan with close-fitting lid.
Wipe meat, poultry, or game; remove most of the fat.
Season. Heat butter or drippings boiling hot in pan;
sear meat on both sides; add a little boiling hot stock and
cover tightly. Draw pan to back of stove, and let the
contents simmer until tender.
How TO Broil Meat
Wipe meat, poultry, or game. Remove all fat, and
score the sides in several places. See that the fire is clear;
grease broiler with a little fat, and broil carefully, turning
broiler very often, so that both sides of the meat will be
evenly cooked.
It takes about 8 minutes to cook an inch-thick steak,
or lo-i 2 minutes if steak be thicker, 5-8 minutes will broil
a chop. Have platter very hot; season, and serve at once.
DIABETIC COOKERY 79
How TO Pan Broil Meat
Heat a frying pap until it begins to smoke; wipe meat, etc.,
remove most of the fat ; score, put in pan ; sear on both sides,
then draw pan to one side, and let the contents cook until done.
Remove fat, season, and serve very hot. Time the
same as for broiling.
How TO Cook Meat in Casserole
Wipe meat, etc. Season ; put in casserole and cover ; put in
hot oven, and cook till tender, in its own juices. This is a spe-
cially good way to cook pot roast, fowl, and other heavy meats.
Roasting or Boiling
No directions need to be given.
Left-Overs
Use left-overs for filling omelets, for force meat, etc.
Beef, veal, and pork make good force meat for stuffing
poultry, for scalloping, etc. Minced chicken, turkey, etc.,
are better for creaming in ramekins, for making timbals, etc.
It would be superfluous to go into details about the pre-
paration of these dishes.

I20 DIABETIC COOKERY
NOTE
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 boil-
ing 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., cab-
bage, spinach, and all the green leaves, stalks, shoots,
sauerkraut, etc.
In using canned vegetables, drain off the water
in the can, scald vegetables with boiling water,
drain, then pour hot sauce over them, and serve
at once.
For diabetics, it is advisable that vegetables be very
finely chopped, or, better still, strained through a
pur6e strainer.

ARTIFICIAL MILK
I. Williamson's Suggestion
Found in Dr. Joslin's book Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus.
(By Permission.)
Mix a pint of water and 3 or 4 tablespoons cream, 40%;
let this stand from 1 2 to 24 hotirs ; the cream floats to the
top ; if skimmed off with a teaspoon it will be found prac-
tically free from sugar; put this fatty matter in a glass;
add the white of an egg to it and stir very well ; then dilute
with water imtil a liquid is obtained which has the exact
color and consistency of ordinary milk; if a little salt 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.
Of course, much larger quantities than this recipe calls for
can be employed in order to prepare a considerable amount
of the drink at one time.
2. Van Noorden's Suggestion
Cream diluted with cold or hot water or mineral spring
water; dilute with tea or coffee in the proportion of one to
five; the taste is essentially improved by the addition of
yolk of egg; 2% of plasmon' may be added and salt or
saccharin.
• Plasmon Milk Powder can be procured through any druggist.

TYPICAL DIETARIES
NOTE
In the division immediately following there appear
nine bills of fare, two adapted to each of the four
seasons, and one for an abstinence day, with the exact
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 essen-
tial that weights and measures be accurate; guessing
will nt)t do. Ordinarily no one who is not thoroughly
trained in such work can tell accurately at the end of
a meal how many calories it 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,
fish, vegetables, cheese, and nuts. With such data it
is possible to reckon food values in the day's ration
very closely, as in the typical bills of fare that follow.
146
DIABETIC COOKERY 147
When the carbohydrate tolerance is only 40 grams,
a small allowance, it 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 carbo-
hydrate tolerance is higher, say 60, 80, or even 100
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 spar-
ingly in bread or crackers. The foods chosen should
always be those in which protein and fat predominate,
such as meat, fish, cheese, and nuts, with the addition
of simple salads of lettuce, celery, romaine, or endive,
for example, in which the amount of digestible carbo-
hydrates is small.
The second bill of fare in each group gives an ar-
rangement suitable for Sunday, when all the meals
may be eaten at home. The dietaries represent differ-
ent possibilities in serving, with good combinations of
foods in which the total carbohydrates for the day
are kept close to 40 grams as a maximum allowance.
Those interested in making the best possible use of
this book, will be able to make excellent bills of fare
for their own particular needs.

An ideal "Abstinence Day" would be one, of course, in which all
carbohydrate food is eliminated. For those in business who must
lunch away from home, such a dietary is difficult to follow; accordingly
one typical day's rations have been planned in detail in which the
carbohydrates are reduced to 20 grams, just half of the allowance in
the typical dietaries for the four seasons. In this dietary some of the
carbohydrates are in the form of cellulose and will not, therefore, be
converted into sugar in the organism.
