BLUE RIBBON CooK Book TWENTY-THIRD EDITION Prepared Especially for Everyday Use in Western Homes Foreword We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. - —Lorp LytTTon. Man, in his primitive state, lived upon roots and fruits of the - earth. Then, at a later stage in his development he became a hunter and a fisher. Man, today, still lives upon the fruits of the earth, the fowls of the air, and beasts of the fields and the fish of the sea; yet they are so cunningly prepared that they add immeasurably to his happiness and health. The art of cookery is every day receiving increased atten- tion; and that is as it should be, because good cooking has a great influence on health. We would all enjoy better health and be better able to withstand sickness if more attention were paid to the proper selection and preparation of food. It is our sincere wish that this new and revised edition of the Blue Ribbon Cook Book may be of assistance to the women of Canada. Neither time nor expense has been spared to make it comprehensive and up-to-date. The recipes have all been tried and tested, and have been chosen with a view to the various requirements of Canadian households. We desire to acknowledge our obligations to the editors of the M. A. C. Cook Book and to Florence H. Howden, B. Sc. (H. Ec.), Teacher of Home:-Economics in King Edward High School, Vancouver, B.C., for their assistance in the preparation of the manuscript. BLUE RIBBON LIMITED. FOOD AND ITS USES BE SQe Food is anything which nourishes the body, and is necessary for growth, repair, heat and energy, and to regulate body pro- cesses. After it is taken into the body, all food must undergo certain chemical changes before it can be used by the body, and this is the work of the digestive system. Foods are Classified as: 1. Protein—This is the great building material. Other foods give heat and energy, but protein is the only one which builds up and repairs the body, and is therefore essential.
